Nearby cities to compare

Being able to be yourself in treatment

Treatment works best when you can talk honestly about your life: your partner, your family, your gender, where and why you use. In a program that runs an LGBTQ group, those conversations are expected rather than awkward. Ask any program how staff are trained and how they handle names, pronouns and rooming.

How drug rehab works

Good drug rehab treats the whole picture: the drug, any mental health conditions, physical health and the social life around use. If you use more than one substance, tell the program so the plan covers all of them.

Using your insurance

Before you call a program, have your insurance card ready and ask three things: is the program in network, does this level of care need prior authorization, and what will you owe after the deductible. Our insurance guides walk through major carriers.
