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.
Read our transgender rehab guide for more.
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.
What LGBTQ rehab looks like
Expect a mix of individual counseling, group therapy and skills work such as cognitive behavioral therapy and relapse prevention. In an LGBTQ group, topics often include coming out, minority stress, dating and social life in recovery, and rebuilding support.
Ask each program near Kansas City how often its LGBTQ group meets and whether it is part of every client's schedule or optional.
