Get help for substance misuse

Gay men are more likely to deal with alcohol use disorder than are other people. If you have concerns about your alcohol use, help is available. Talk to your health care provider. Many health care and mental health organizations focused on the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community also offer substance use treatment or may be able to provide information about local resources.

If you smoke cigarettes or use other tobacco products, quitting will greatly lower your risk of health problems. Talk to your health care provider about resources to help you quit.
