摘要
Clinical research on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, or two-spirited (LGBTQ) persons with co-occurring conditions (substance abuse plus mental illness CC) is sparse. This study examines the unique and specific treatment barriers, needs, and experiences of LGBTQ persons living with CC. A focus group was conducted with 10 LGBTQ behavioral health clients diagnosed with CC. Among the more prominent findings was the importance of revealing and incorporating one's sexual identity in the therapeutic environment. This finding was reinforced by participant endorsement of a more holistic, integrative approach to their situation. Results are discussed within the context of improving service delivery to this population as well as identifying areas for future research.
