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.
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.

Call 866-825-1171Frequently asked questions
Is there an LGBTQ-friendly program inside McAllen?
We don't list one inside McAllen itself, but the closest programs within driving distance are listed on this page.
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.
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.
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.
