Commonly Asked Questions about Addiction and Treatment

Is substance abuse higher in the lgbtq+ community?

Yes, studies have indicated that rates of substance use and substance use disorders are indeed higher in the LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and others) community compared to the general population. This disparity is believed to be related to a variety of factors, including the stress and stigma associated with identifying as LGBTQ+.

Here's a closer look at some of the related factors and statistics:

• Minority Stress: Minority stress refers to the chronic stress faced by members of a marginalized group, such as the LGBTQ+ community. This includes dealing with prejudice, societal stigma, discrimination, and the process of coming out. This added stress can increase the risk of substance use as a coping mechanism.
• Mental Health: There are higher rates of mental health disorders, such as depression and anxiety, among LGBTQ+ individuals, often as a result of minority stress. Mental health disorders are a known risk factor for substance use and substance use disorders.
• Social Environment: Substance use is often more normalized in some LGBTQ+ social settings, such as bars and clubs, which can increase the likelihood of substance use and addiction.
• Access to Care: LGBTQ+ individuals may face barriers to receiving substance use treatment, such as discrimination, lack of LGBTQ+ inclusive treatment programs, and fear of stigma.

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), adults who identify as lesbian, gay, or bisexual were more than twice as likely as heterosexual adults to have used illicit drugs in the past year. Transgender individuals also experience higher rates of substance use and substance use disorders compared to their cisgender peers.

It is important to note that while substance use is a significant issue within the LGBTQ+ community, not all individuals within this community use substances or struggle with substance use disorders. A comprehensive, culturally competent approach is needed to address substance use in the LGBTQ+ community, which includes providing LGBTQ+ inclusive prevention and treatment programs, addressing the underlying issues like discrimination and stigma, and improving access to mental health care.

How to help someone that is detoxing from opioids?

Helping someone detoxing from opioids is a delicate process that requires careful attention, support, and understanding. Here are some ways you can assist:

Encourage Professional Help: Detoxing from opioids should ideally be done under the supervision of healthcare professionals. Encourage them to seek professional help, as this ensures their safety throughout the process and provides them with the best chance for successful recovery.

Learn About Opioid Withdrawal: Understanding the process of opioid withdrawal can help you be more empathetic and supportive. Symptoms can include anxiety, restlessness, insomnia, and flu-like symptoms such as sweating and diarrhea. Also, be aware of Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome (PAWS), which can present psychological symptoms like mood swings and depression for weeks or months after the initial detox period.

Provide Emotional Support: Be patient, understanding, and supportive. Listen to them, be there for them, and reassure them that they're not alone in this process. Avoid shaming or blaming, which can increase feelings of guilt and discourage recovery efforts.

Support Their Treatment Plan: Help them stick to their treatment plan. This could involve driving them to appointments, ensuring they take prescribed medications, or helping them manage their schedule to accommodate therapy or support group meetings.

Promote Healthy Habits: Encourage them to eat healthily, exercise, and get enough sleep. These habits can help strengthen their physical health and resilience during detox and recovery.

Limit Triggers: Help create an environment that minimizes triggers for drug use. This might involve clearing out substances and paraphernalia, or avoiding places or people associated with drug use.

Join a Support Group: Consider attending a support group for friends and family members of people with substance use disorders, such as Nar-Anon. These groups can offer valuable advice, resources, and support for you as you help your loved one.

Take Care of Yourself: Supporting someone through detox can be emotionally demanding. Make sure to take care of your own mental and physical health, too. Self-care isn't selfish�''it's crucial for you to be able to provide sustained support to your loved one.

If my mom and dad were substance abusers am I destined for the same?

While a family history of substance abuse can increase your risk of developing a similar issue due to both genetic and environmental factors, it does not mean you are destined to become a substance abuser. Genetics can make up about 40-60% of the risk for addiction, but the remaining percentage is influenced by environmental and personal factors.

Environmental influences can include your upbringing, your parents' behaviors, your exposure to drugs or alcohol, your social circle, and your experiences with stress and trauma. Personal factors involve your individual personality traits, your mental health, and your coping mechanisms. All these can significantly contribute to whether or not you develop a substance use disorder.

Importantly, risk is not destiny. Just because you are at a higher risk doesn't mean you will inevitably develop a substance abuse problem. Prevention strategies can be highly effective. These might include:

Education: Understanding the risks and consequences of substance abuse can deter initiation of drug use.

Healthy Coping Mechanisms: Developing healthy ways to cope with stress, such as through exercise, meditation, hobbies, or therapy, can reduce the need to turn to substances for relief.

Strong Support Networks: Having supportive and understanding friends, family, or mentors can provide a safety net when facing potential pitfalls.

Mental Health Care: Ensuring good mental health through therapy or counseling can reduce the risk, as mental health disorders can increase the likelihood of substance abuse.

Delaying Substance Use: The later in life a person first uses drugs, the less likely they are to develop a problem.

Remember, even if substance abuse does become an issue, it is not a life sentence. Effective treatments are available that can help individuals overcome addiction and lead healthy, productive lives. If you're worried about your risk, it might be helpful to discuss your concerns with a healthcare provider, a counselor, or a trusted person in your life.
