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.
Family, rejection and recovery
Many LGBTQ people carry experiences of family rejection or strained relationships into treatment. Research on LGBTQ young people has linked family rejection with higher rates of substance use and depression, while family acceptance is protective.
Good programs make room for chosen family and offer family sessions when they help. Our guide on family rejection and recovery covers this in more depth.
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
Can I bring my partner or chosen family into treatment?
Many programs offer family sessions and let you define who counts as family. Ask at intake whether partners and chosen family can take part.
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.
How do I find LGBTQ rehab near Merrifield, VA?
Start with the closest programs on this page, then call to ask about their LGBTQ group and your insurance. Our independent helpline can also help you compare options.
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.
