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.

Social life without alcohol

For many LGBTQ people, bars and parties have been central to community and dating. Recovery often means finding sober spaces and friends. LGBTQ recovery meetings, community centers and sober events can help.

Prescription monitoring

California's prescription drug monitoring program is CURES (Controlled Substance Utilization Review and Evaluation System), operated by the California Department of Justice. It tracks dispensed controlled substance prescriptions so prescribers, pharmacists and regulators can review them.

Overdose Good Samaritan law
