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.

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.
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.
Outpatient treatment near Scranton
Not every situation calls for a residential stay. We list 8 programs within 25 miles of Scranton that report intensive outpatient, day treatment or regular outpatient services. Outpatient care works best when home is stable and supportive; it's also the usual next step after residential treatment.

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.
Is there an LGBTQ rehab inside Scranton?
Yes. 1 program in Scranton itself are listed at the top of this page.
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.
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.
