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.
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.
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 West Des Moines how often its LGBTQ group meets and whether it is part of every client's schedule or optional.
