To date, there is a lack of investigation on how sexuality impacts the recovery process for individuals in substance use treatment. A positive correlation between low sexual self-esteem, physical and sexual abuse, sexual orientation, and substance use in women has been previously identified (Badger, 2011; 2012). Sexual orientation is an important risk marker for growth in adolescent substance use, and the disparity between LGB and heterosexual adolescents’ increases as they transition into young adulthood (Fallin-Bennett & Goodin, 2019). For some LGB adolescents, social stigma associated with sexual orientation may induce psychosocial stress, leading to increased health risk behaviors and poorer health outcomes (Coker, et al., 2009; Reisner et al., 2019).
Sexuality issues such as sexual abuse, body image, incest, infertility, sexual dysfunction, and sexual orientation can make people more vulnerable to substance use and subsequent relapse across the lifespan (Badger, 2012). Addressing sexual health in counseling and treatment can help clients mitigate potential relapse. This workshop will describe an overview of sexual health, links between sexuality and substance use, and present approaches for helping individuals who have been impacted by negative sexual experiences. Using this sexual health model as a framework for discussion, participants will identify issues to consider when discussing sexual health and ideas for developing/facilitating sexual health groups.
