Abstract
Analysis from data on the National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS) demonstrated discrepancies in the acceptance of LGBT individuals to substance abuse centers and specific services geared towards that population. This discrepancy can inform public policy as well as future funding and training at these centers.
