Everyone's relationship with alcohol and other drugs is different.
You might be questioning your drinking, concerned about methamphetamine use, looking for support after a relapse, or wanting to make a change for the first time. Whatever your goals, we'll work with you to build a plan that's right for you.
Our services are free, confidential and designed specifically for LGBTIQA+ communities and people living with HIV.

Why do LGBTIQA+ people need a dedicated service?
LGBTIQA+ people can have specific needs when it comes to alcohol and other drugs. Alcohol and drugs are often part of social and community spaces, and experiences such as minority stress, HIV or gender-affirming hormone therapy can affect how people use substances and the support they need. Speaking with someone who understands these experiences can help you access tailored information and care.
