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

Drug rehab usually starts with an assessment and detox if needed, then moves into residential or intensive outpatient therapy. For opioid use disorder, medications such as buprenorphine, methadone or naltrexone are the standard of care. For meth and cocaine, there's no approved medication, so behavioral therapies like contingency management do most of the work.

The programs on this page report drug detox or medication treatment along with an LGBTQ program or group.

Maryland rules and programs that affect treatment

These state-level facts apply to everyone seeking LGBTQ drug rehab in Silver Spring.

Who oversees treatment

Maryland's Behavioral Health Administration, part of the Maryland Department of Health, oversees public behavioral health services, and its Office of Quality Assurance conducts compliance reviews and investigations of behavioral health programs.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

Maryland's Good Samaritan law protects people who seek or provide help in an overdose emergency, and the overdose victim, from arrest and prosecution for offenses such as controlled substance possession and paraphernalia. It does not cover drug felonies or bystanders who do not help.

Paying for treatment

Most private health insurance plans cover addiction treatment, including detox, residential care and outpatient programs, though coverage depends on your plan and whether the program is in network. Ask about prior authorization before you go, and see our insurance guides.
