LGBTQ program (SAMHSA)Trauma-informedBeing 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.
