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.
Trauma-informed care
Many people in treatment have lived through trauma, and for LGBTQ people that can include bullying, violence or rejection. Trauma-informed programs try to avoid re-traumatizing clients and build in therapy that addresses those experiences.
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.

Call 866-825-1171Frequently asked questions
What is trauma-informed care?
It's an approach that recognizes how common trauma is, avoids re-traumatizing people, and builds trauma therapy into treatment.
How do I know if a rehab near Ames is really LGBTQ-friendly?
On this site, a program appears only if it reports an LGBTQ program or group to SAMHSA. Beyond that, ask about staff training, how names and pronouns are handled, and what happens if another client is disrespectful.
Will my information stay private?
Federal rules (42 CFR Part 2) give substance use treatment records extra confidentiality protections beyond standard health privacy law. Ask any program how it handles your records and who can see them.
Can I bring my partner or chosen family into treatment?
Many programs offer family sessions and let you define who counts as family. Ask at intake whether partners and chosen family can take part.
