SUBSTANCE USE
We will tip the scales in favor of our clients. Terrance is a counselor who helps clients overcome substance use and mental health issues. Because of your support, he tips the scales so all of our clients can lead lives that work for them. More than 600 clients came to us in 2012 to receive free services through The Stonewall Project. It is a certified outpatient drug treatment program that serves gay, bisexual, trans, and other men who have sex with men through a broad continuum of services that range from individual counseling to group meetings, online resources, and community outreach. At the core of the program is a commitment to the principles of harm reduction. This means helping our clients achieve whatever goals they set, whether it’s reducing their substance use, learning to use more safely, or abstaining from alcohol and other drugs. We also connect clients to primary medical care, HIV testing, and STI screenings, and assist men with adherence to psychiatric and HIV medications. Terrance is tipping the scales every day and because of him and the entire Stonewall staff, our clients are seeing outcomes that work in their favor.
