LGBTQ-Friendly Rehab in Minnesota

Treatment rules and programs in Minnesota

Who oversees treatment

The Minnesota Department of Human Services is the state agency that licenses substance use disorder treatment programs under Chapter 245G of state statute.

Prescription monitoring

The Minnesota Prescription Monitoring Program is administered by the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy. It is meant to detect diversion, abuse and misuse of prescribed controlled substances.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

Minnesota's Good Samaritan statute protects a person who seeks medical help for an overdose, and the person who overdosed, from prosecution for certain drug possession offenses. It also bars revoking pretrial release, probation or parole based on a covered incident.

Court-ordered treatment

Minnesota's Civil Commitment Act (Chapter 253B) covers 'chemically dependent persons' and allows emergency holds and court commitment for those who cannot manage themselves and are a substantial risk of harm.

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

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.

Cost and coverage

The cost of treatment depends mostly on the level of care, length of stay and your insurance. Residential care costs the most; outpatient therapy the least. Many programs on SAMHSA's directory accept private insurance, and some offer sliding-scale fees. See our insurance guides.
