Mental health and substance use together

Depression, anxiety and trauma often show up alongside substance use, and SAMHSA data show higher rates of mental illness among lesbian, gay and bisexual adults. Treating both at once usually works better than treating them separately.

If that sounds familiar, look at LGBTQ dual diagnosis treatment.

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.

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.
