Mental health and substance use together
Depression, anxiety and trauma often show up alongside substance use, and SAMHSA data show higher rates of mental illness among lesbian, gay and bisexual adults. Treating both at once usually works better than treating them separately.
If that sounds familiar, look at LGBTQ dual diagnosis treatment.
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.
Residential or outpatient?
The right level of care depends on how much you use, your health, your living situation and past attempts to stop. A program's intake assessment, usually based on ASAM criteria, will recommend a starting level.
Prefer to live at home during treatment?

Call 866-825-1171Frequently asked questions
Is there an LGBTQ rehab inside Altoona?
We don't list one inside Altoona itself, but the closest programs within driving distance are listed on this page.
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 LGBTQ rehabs only accept LGBTQ clients?
Usually not. Most programs on this page serve everyone and run a dedicated group or track for LGBTQ clients.
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.
