Episode description
LGBTQI persons have a greater likelihood than non-LGBT persons of experiencing a substance use disorder (SUD) in their lifetime, and they often enter treatment with more severe SUDs, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Addiction treatment programs offering LGBTQI and nonbinary specific care shows better outcomes for clients compared to those in non-specialized programs. Today, we talk to Beck Gee-Cohen, master's level addiction counselor and transgender advocate, about bridging the gap between LGBTQI+GNC communities and treatment.
