LGBTQ Dual Diagnosis Treatment 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.

Being able to be yourself in treatment

Treatment works best when you can talk honestly about your life: your partner, your family, your gender, where and why you use. In a program that runs an LGBTQ group, those conversations are expected rather than awkward. Ask any program how staff are trained and how they handle names, pronouns and rooming.

See questions to ask an LGBTQ rehab before you commit.

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 Washington whether a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner is part of the team.
