Addressing Substance Abuse

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Sexual Minorities and Mental Health

Abstract

In this chapter, we explore the use of substances amongst sexual minorities and the interplay with their mental health for those for whom it becomes problematic. After considering the nomenclature and prevalence of such use, and possible influences within this, we discuss the importance of culturally sensitive practice and specific therapeutic and ethical considerations we must take within this work.
