The Stonewall Project
Counseling for gay, bisexual, queer & trans men interested in changing their relationship to drugs & alcohol.
Start Here! Orientation to Stonewall
Interested in addressing your drug and alcohol use, but confused about where to start?
Our orientation drop-in group is for gay, bi, queer and trans men who would like more information about the substance use groups, harm reduction philosophy and structured program we provide. We’ll give you an overview of the services we provide, answer questions about how we might help you achieve your substance use goals and give you personalized next steps for how to get started.
All Stonewall Project counseling services are free of charge. Everyone’s goals are welcome and can range from complete abstinence to controlled or safer use based on a desire to improve health, relationships or functioning in the world. We welcome you wherever you’re at and do not require abstinence for you to receive services.
