LGBTQ Dual Diagnosis Treatment in Utah

Treatment rules and programs in Utah

Who oversees treatment

The Division of Integrated Healthcare is Utah's substance abuse authority under state code, and it sets minimum standards for local substance abuse authorities.

Prescription monitoring

Utah's prescription drug monitoring program is the Controlled Substance Database, run by the Division of Professional Licensing in the Department of Commerce. It collects records of Schedule II-V controlled substances dispensed by pharmacies.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

Utah has a Good Samaritan law that shields a person who calls 911 for an overdose from legal charges related to the overdose, provided they stay and cooperate with responders.

Court-ordered treatment

Utah code provides for court-ordered 'essential treatment' of an adult's substance use disorder, and lets a parent submit a minor to an approved treatment facility after a neutral fact-finder review (26B-5-204).

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 dual diagnosis treatment works

Dual diagnosis treatment treats substance use and mental health conditions at the same time, with one team. It usually combines therapy, psychiatric medication management and addiction treatment. The programs on this page report treatment for co-occurring serious mental illness, psychiatric medications and an LGBTQ program or group.

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.
