Treating Substance Use Disorders in LGBTQ+ Populations: Challenges and Best Practices
This presentation will explore the unique challenges and considerations in treating substance use disorders (SUDs) within LGBTQ+ populations. We will discuss the higher prevalence of SUDs among LGBTQ+ individuals and the contributing factors, including minority stress, discrimination, and barriers to healthcare access. The presentation will cover evidence-based treatment approaches tailored to the specific needs of LGBTQ+ clients, addressing intersectionality and the importance of cultural competence. Participants will learn about creating inclusive and affirming treatment environments, navigating issues of identity and coming out in the context of SUD treatment, and addressing co-occurring mental health concerns. The session will also highlight the importance of community resources and support systems in the recovery process for LGBTQ+ individuals with SUDs.
Learning Objectives:
By completing this program, participants will able to:
1. Identify at least 3 unique factors associated with substance use disorders in LGBTQ+ individuals.
2. Describe at least 2 evidence-based treatment approaches for substance use that have been tailored to meet the needs of LGBTQ+ clients.
3. Summarize research on the importance of cultural competence in effectively treating substance use in the LGBTQ+ community.
