LGBTQ Dual Diagnosis Treatment in Ohio

Treatment rules and programs in Ohio

Who oversees treatment

Ohio's Department of Behavioral Health (formerly the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services) licenses community addiction treatment providers, inspects them, and writes the licensing rules under state law.

Prescription monitoring

Ohio's prescription drug monitoring program is OARRS, the Ohio Automated Rx Reporting System, run by the Ohio Board of Pharmacy. It tracks controlled substance prescriptions dispensed to patients.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

Ohio's Good Samaritan law gives limited immunity from prosecution for minor drug possession and paraphernalia offenses to a person who seeks medical help for an overdose and to the person who overdosed, provided they get a treatment screening and referral.

Court-ordered treatment

Ohio lets a probate court order involuntary treatment for a person with alcohol or other drug abuse under a petition process set out in Revised Code sections 5119.90 to 5119.98.

Family, rejection and recovery

Many LGBTQ people carry experiences of family rejection or strained relationships into treatment. Research on LGBTQ young people has linked family rejection with higher rates of substance use and depression, while family acceptance is protective.

Good programs make room for chosen family and offer family sessions when they help. Our guide on family rejection and recovery covers this in more depth.

How dual diagnosis treatment works

Depression, anxiety, PTSD and other conditions can drive substance use, and substance use can make them worse. Treating both together breaks that loop. Ask programs near Ohio whether a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner is part of the team.
