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
Ask programs near Worcester which trauma therapies they offer and whether trauma work happens in individual sessions, groups, or both.

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.
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.
Is there an LGBTQ-friendly program inside Worcester?
Yes. 4 programs in Worcester itself are listed at the top of this page.
