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.
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.

California rules and programs that affect treatment
These state-level facts apply to everyone seeking LGBTQ rehab in Foster City.
Overdose Good Samaritan law
California Health and Safety Code section 11376.5 gives limited protection from charges for drug possession or being under the influence to people who seek medical help for an overdose in good faith, and to the person overdosing. It does not cover selling or giving drugs.
Court-ordered treatment
California's expanded definition of grave disability (SB 43) lets a severe substance use disorder, alone or with a mental health disorder, support involuntary holds and LPS conservatorship when a person cannot meet basic needs for safety or medical care. Source is a county government page describing the state law.

Call 866-825-1171Frequently asked questions
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.
How long does rehab last?
It depends on the level of care and your progress. Residential programs commonly run several weeks, and outpatient care often continues for months.
How do I find LGBTQ rehab near Foster City, CA?
