Opioid use disorder has reached an alarming rate in the United States. As a population disproportionately affected by substance use disorders (SUDs), the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) community has not been spared from the opioid epidemic. This brief discusses the impact that opioid use disorder has on the LGBTQ community. It highlights best practices, trauma-informed care, and behavioral health integration into primary care.
