Understanding Drug Use in the LGBTQ Community

Understanding drug use in the Gay LGBTQ+ community involves challenging stereotypes and examining the diverse realities of substance use within this population. In this video, we explore the data on drugs of choice among LGBTQ+ individuals, dispelling the myth that methamphetamine dominates across the board. While 53% of clients in our program struggle with crystal meth use, alcohol use represents a significant 27%, and 4% deal with opiate addiction. These insights highlight the need for stigma-free, inclusive treatment approaches that address the unique challenges of queer individuals, including those navigating chemsex-related issues or less common substance dependencies. Join us as we discuss the power of unified treatment models that foster healing and understanding for all.
