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.
What "LGBTQ-friendly" should mean
Plenty of programs call themselves LGBTQ-friendly. On this site, a program only appears if it reports to SAMHSA that it runs a program or group for LGBTQ clients. The programs on this page also report trauma-related counseling and accept private insurance.
