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.
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.
Read LGBTQ-friendly vs LGBTQ-specific rehab to understand the difference.

Call 866-825-1171Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
