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.
See questions to ask an LGBTQ rehab before you commit.
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 St. Louis how often its LGBTQ group meets and whether it is part of every client's schedule or optional.
