What are good local resources to help gay addicts (clinics, programs, groups)?

Just to clarify, though I don't think anyone at The Stranger would I assume I meant otherwise: I am referring to a beloved gay friend who has a major drug problem which is definitely wrapped in his issues with his sexuality. (NOT a question about post-gay brainwashing, etc).

    Two resources jump immediately to mind....

    Seattle Counseling Service focuses on issues around sexuality and could possibly help your friend figure out why he "self medicates" to deal with his unhappiness and fear.

    Depending on your friend's age, he (or you) could contact Gay City Health Project 206-860-6969 and find out if he is of an age that they can help, or if they have another resource they can recommend.

    Of course there is Narcotics Anonymous of Seattle, 206-790-8888.

    Dunshee House offers some services for drug abusers. 206-322-2437

    Let me know if any of these are of help, or if you learn of others so I can add them to my list of resources.

    Thank you for being such a good friend to your friend!
