Care that includes transgender and nonbinary people
Transgender and nonbinary people often report being misgendered or treated poorly in health care settings, which can make treatment feel unsafe. Before you enroll, ask how the program handles names and pronouns, room assignments, bathrooms and continuing gender-affirming hormones.

Party drugs and chemsex
If use is tied to particular places, people or apps, part of treatment is building a social life that doesn't revolve around them. LGBTQ recovery meetings and community groups can help.

Is there LGBTQ drug rehab inside Santa Cruz?
We don't list one inside Santa Cruz itself, but the closest programs within driving distance are listed on this page.
Will my information stay private?
Federal rules (42 CFR Part 2) give substance use treatment records extra confidentiality protections beyond standard health privacy law. Ask any program how it handles your records and who can see them.
Is medication used for drug addiction?
For opioid use disorder, yes: buprenorphine, methadone and naltrexone are standard treatments. For stimulants, no medication is FDA-approved, so therapy does the work.

The nearest listed program is Seascape Recovery Center – Elevate Addiction Services, about 16 miles from Santa Cruz. Programs on this page report drug detox or medication treatment and an LGBTQ program or group.
