Care that includes transgender and nonbinary people
Transgender and nonbinary people often report being misgendered or treated poorly in health care settings, which can make treatment feel unsafe. Before you enroll, ask how the program handles names and pronouns, room assignments, bathrooms and continuing gender-affirming hormones.

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
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.
How do I know if a rehab near San Diego 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.
