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.

Prescription monitoring

The Maryland Prescription Drug Monitoring Program is run by the Maryland Department of Health's Office of the PDMP. It collects and securely stores data on dispensed drugs containing controlled substances.

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.

Cost and coverage

The cost of treatment depends mostly on the level of care, length of stay and your insurance. Residential care costs the most; outpatient therapy the least. Many programs on SAMHSA's directory accept private insurance, and some offer sliding-scale fees. See our insurance guides.
