Why LGBTQ-specific care can matter
Research summarized by the National Institute on Drug Abuse finds that sexual and gender minority people report higher rates of substance use and substance use disorders than the general population. Researchers often explain the gap with minority stress: the extra, ongoing strain of stigma, discrimination and having to stay on guard.
A program with an LGBTQ group gives you a place to talk about those pressures with people who share them, instead of working around them.
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.

Who oversees treatment
In Connecticut, private freestanding facilities that treat substance abuse or dependence are licensed by the Department of Public Health. The Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services is the state agency that funds and operates addiction treatment services.
Court-ordered treatment
Connecticut allows a person who is alcohol- or drug-dependent to be committed through a probate court application under Conn. Gen.

A court can order inpatient treatment of 30 to 180 days, and a separate short emergency commitment is governed by section 17a-684.

Using your insurance
