Boca Recovery Center, is a free web resource and 24/7 helpline that provides free information about addiction, pregnancy, eating disorders, and mental health issues.
Substance use disorders affect 20 to 30 percent of the LGBTQ population, compared to 8.4 percent of the general population, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Although great strides have been made, it's impossible to ignore the stigma, stress, and discrimination that members of the LGBTQ+ community face when seeking substance abuse treatment.
To help share more information, Boca Recovery Center created a comprehensive guide about substance abuse in the LGBTQ+ community, including information like:
- Drug Trends in the LGBTQ+ community
- Gender-affirming treatment guidelines
- How to help an LGBTQ+ person cope with addiction and more.
