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.
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?
Residential care makes sense when use is daily, when detox needs medical support, or when home isn't a safe or stable place to recover. Outpatient and intensive outpatient programs fit when you have a stable place to live and want to keep working.
Prefer to live at home during treatment?
We list 29 programs within 25 miles of Seattle that report intensive outpatient, day treatment or regular outpatient services. Intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization programs let you attend treatment during the day or evening and go home afterward.
