Nearby cities to compare

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.

Being able to be yourself in treatment

Treatment works best when you can talk honestly about your life: your partner, your family, your gender, where and why you use. In a program that runs an LGBTQ group, those conversations are expected rather than awkward. Ask any program how staff are trained and how they handle names, pronouns and rooming.

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.

Cost and coverage

The cost of treatment depends mostly on the level of care, length of stay and your insurance. Residential care costs the most; outpatient therapy the least. Many programs on SAMHSA's directory accept private insurance, and some offer sliding-scale fees. See our insurance guides.
