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.

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.

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.

Prescription monitoring

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.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

Georgia's 9-1-1 Medical Amnesty law (O.C.G.A. 16-13-5) protects a person who in good faith seeks medical help for an overdose, for themselves or someone else, from arrest and prosecution for certain minor drug possession offenses when the evidence comes solely from seeking help. It also covers some probation, parole and protective order violations tied to those offenses.

Using your insurance

Before you call a program, have your insurance card ready and ask three things: is the program in network, does this level of care need prior authorization, and what will you owe after the deductible. Our insurance guides walk through major carriers.
