National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism

Substance Recovery · Colorado · Free

NIAAA — federal research and resources on alcohol use disorders. Useful for queer people who've tried 12-step but found the rooms straight-by-default and hostile to identity work. Harm reduction (Narcan, fentanyl test strips, syringe exchange) is widely available; most LGBTQ+ centers stock supplies. 12-step rooms vary widely; LGBTQ+ meetings exist precisely because traditional rooms can be hostile to identity work. Free, confidential, and open to anyone in the LGBTQ+ community.
