These programs offer 2SLGBTQIA+‑affirming support for substance use and recovery. They aren’t meeting lists like AA or Recovery Dharma. Instead, they provide counseling, harm‑reduction services, sober living, and community support created specifically for queer and trans people. If you’re looking for identity‑safe help, or you’re not sure where to start, these programs can be a grounding first step before exploring 12‑step or non‑12‑step meetings.
