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.
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.
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 3 programs within 25 miles of Virginia Beach 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.

Prescription monitoring
Virginia's Prescription Monitoring Program is run by the Department of Health Professions. It is a statewide database of dispensed controlled substances that providers use to guide prescribing and dispensing decisions.
Overdose Good Samaritan law

Using your insurance
Before you call a program, have your insurance card ready and ask three things: is the program in network, does this level of care need prior authorization, and what will you owe after the deductible. Our insurance guides walk through major carriers.

Call 866-825-1171Frequently asked questions
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.
Is there an LGBTQ rehab inside Virginia Beach?
Yes. 1 program in Virginia Beach itself are listed at the top of this page.
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.
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.
