SMART Recovery

Substance Recovery · North Carolina · Free

Self-Management and Recovery Training — secular, science-based addiction recovery support. Useful for queer people who've tried 12-step but found the rooms straight-by-default and hostile to identity work. Sober social events (queer sober dance nights, hikes, brunches) are organized in most metros. LGBTQ+ adults have 2–4x higher rates of substance use disorder than straight peers — minority stress is the driver, not identity. All services free of charge to LGBTQ+ North Carolina residents and allies.
