drug use, with federal data highlighting a significantly increased likelihood of developing substance use disorder (SUD) among LGBTQ+ individuals compared to the general population.
Statistics reveal the sobering reality of rejection and coping mechanisms within the LGBTQ+ community:
40% of LGBTQ+ adults disclose experiencing rejection from a family member or close friend due to their sexual or gender identity at some point in their lives (Source: Pew Social Trends). 25% of respondents report misusing drugs or alcohol as a means of coping with discrimination related to their gender identity or expression (Source: SAMHSA). These figures underscore the profound impact of societal attitudes and discrimination on the mental health and well-being of LGBTQ+ individuals, underscoring the urgent need for empathetic and tailored care within addiction treatment settings.
At Recovery Unplugged, we are com- mitted to providing a safe, inclusive, and affirming space for individuals in the LGBTQ+ community to heal and recover from addiction. Our approach integrates understanding, compassion, and evidence-based practices to ad- dress the intersection of mental health, mistreatment, and substance use within the LGBTQ+ population, fostering resil- ience, empowerment, and lasting recov- ery for all individuals seeking support on their journey towards sobriety and well-being.
