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.
What "LGBTQ-friendly" should mean
Friendly should mean more than a rainbow logo. Look for an actual LGBTQ group, staff training, inclusive intake forms with space for your name and pronouns, and policies against harassment from other clients.
Local resources in Anchorage
Local health department

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.

Call 866-825-1171Frequently asked questions
Is there an LGBTQ-friendly program inside Anchorage?
Yes. 6 programs in Anchorage itself are listed at the top of this page.
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.
What does it mean that a program reports an LGBTQ program?
Each listed facility told SAMHSA's national treatment survey that it offers a program or group specifically for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer clients. It's self-reported, so ask the program how the group works and how often it meets.
How do I know if a rehab near Anchorage 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.
