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.
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.
What LGBTQ rehab looks like
LGBTQ rehab follows the same proven approach as any good addiction program: medical detox when needed, individual and group therapy, medication for opioid or alcohol use disorder when it fits, and a plan for after discharge. The difference is a dedicated group or track where LGBTQ clients can talk about stigma, relationships, family and identity.
Programs are listed by distance, and badges show which offer residential or inpatient care.

Call 866-825-1171Frequently asked questions
Will my information stay private?
Federal rules (42 CFR Part 2) give substance use treatment records extra confidentiality protections beyond standard health privacy law. Ask any program how it handles your records and who can see them.
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.
