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.

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.

Residential or outpatient?

Residential care makes sense when use is daily, when detox needs medical support, or when home isn't a safe or stable place to recover. Outpatient and intensive outpatient programs fit when you have a stable place to live and want to keep working.

Outpatient and IOP options near Augusta

If you need to keep working or caring for family, outpatient care may fit. We list 6 programs within 25 miles of Augusta that report intensive outpatient, day treatment or regular outpatient services. Intensive outpatient programs usually meet several days a week, and partial hospitalization runs most of the day while you sleep at home. See LGBTQ IOP and day programs.

Its Office of Addictive Diseases also funds substance use treatment providers.

The Georgia Prescription Drug Monitoring Program, run by the Georgia Department of Public Health, collects reports on dispensed controlled substance prescriptions to help reduce duplicative prescribing and overprescribing.
