Although sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations remain at markedly elevated risk for developing alcohol and substance use disorders, relatively few substance use disorder treatment programs provide culturally tailored services. This chapter provides an overview of alcohol and substance use disparities as well as reviews evidence-based interventions in distinct SGM populations. In general, clinical research has focused on culturally tailoring evidence-based substance use disorder treatments such as cognitive–behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing with modest success. Further clinical research should develop and test novel substance use disorder intervention approaches that address minority stress processes as key triggers for unhealthy alcohol consumption and substance use. Clinical research is also needed to address the disparities in unhealthy drinking among sexual minority women as well as alcohol and substance use disparities in transgender individuals. Recommendations are provided to optimize the effectiveness and scalability of existing evidence-based treatments targeting alcohol and substance use disorders in SGM populations.

Disorder Treatment

Given the substantial need for and relatively low access to effective substance use disorder treatment for people on probation, it is critical to understand organizational and staff attitudes that may hinder or facilitate treatment linkage and willingness to adopt evidence-based practices. This study used survey data from a large county probation department to assess staff members’ attitudes and perceptions regarding their organization’s climate for innovation, role of substance use disorder treatment, support for evidence-based treatment, and organizational barriers to change. Probation staff were open to incorporating treatment into probation supervision, expressed support for rehabilitation models, and agreed that they would adopt innovations if required or they found them to be appealing. However, they expressed some concerns about the level of agency support for innovation and collaboration. Attitudes and perceptions varied by staff characteristics. Implications for expanding organizational change and adoption of evidence-based treatment practices in probation are discussed.
