LGBTQ Drug Rehab in Washington

Treatment rules and programs in Washington

Prescription monitoring

Washington's Prescription Monitoring Program holds controlled substance dispensing data that providers can view in a patient's history. It appears on the Department of Health's site and is run by that department.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

RCW 69.50.315 protects a person who seeks medical help for an overdose, and the person who overdosed, from charges for certain drug possession offenses when the evidence came from seeking help. It applies only to the listed possession offenses.

Court-ordered treatment

Washington's Involuntary Treatment Act (Chapter 71.05 RCW) allows detention and judicial commitment of persons impaired by a substance use disorder who meet its criteria.

Featured drug treatment programs in Washington

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

Good drug rehab treats the whole picture: the drug, any mental health conditions, physical health and the social life around use. If you use more than one substance, tell the program so the plan covers all of them.

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.
