Mental health and substance use together
Depression, anxiety and trauma often show up alongside substance use, and SAMHSA data show higher rates of mental illness among lesbian, gay and bisexual adults. Treating both at once usually works better than treating them separately.
If that sounds familiar, look at LGBTQ dual diagnosis treatment.
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.

Call 866-825-1171Frequently asked questions
How do I know if a rehab near Athens 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.
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.
Do these LGBTQ-friendly programs take insurance?
The programs on this page report that they accept private health insurance. Confirm your specific plan and network status before you go.
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.
