We understand that there has been a significant increase in discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community. Sometimes experiencing homophobia, biphobia or transphobia can affect someone’s alcohol and drug use.
In 2023, Drinkaware found that 70% of LGBTQ+ drinkers engage in binge drinking compared to 62% of non-LGBTQ+ adult drinkers, and that LGBTQ+ individuals are more likely to experience harm from others’ drinking.
Our services are safe, inclusive, non-judgmental spaces. Many of them offer groups specifically for the LGBTQ+ community where recovery is explored and support and connection are encouraged.
For more information about the support offered to the LGBTQ+ community, contact your local service:
