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.

How dual diagnosis treatment works

Depression, anxiety, PTSD and other conditions can drive substance use, and substance use can make them worse. Treating both together breaks that loop. Ask programs near Kansas whether a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner is part of the team.
