Nearby cities to compare

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.

Party drugs and chemsex

Some people find their drug use is tied to nightlife, dating apps or sex. That's worth bringing up at intake; it affects triggers and relapse planning. A program with an LGBTQ group is more likely to have heard it before and to talk about it plainly.
