The repeal of DOMA and the recognition of the rights of gay and lesbian men and women in our society could save several from becoming addicts. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Well being Solutions Administration (SAMHSA), it is estimated that the prices of substance abuse among gay and transgendered populations are between 20 percent to 30 percent, compared to about 9 % of the basic population. Much of this improved substance abuse is due to tension, abuse, and discrimination. Repealing DOMA and offering homosexual individuals their rights, could really most likely lead to a lower in their rates of substance abuse and prescription drug addiction.

Everybody has a need to have for family, neighborhood and approval. The repeal of DOMA, which will begin to make it less difficult for LGBTQ people to build the families they desire will undoubtedly have a true, optimistic influence on their well-becoming and make it significantly less likely they will need to have to resort to substance abuse to relieve the discomfort they expertise for being ostracized and discriminated against.

Lack of connection recognition has been a detriment to well being, reported Dr. Damon Raskin, an addiction specialist with Cliffside Malibu.

This adjust in the law brought about by the Supreme Courts decision will make life much better for folks who have unduly suffered. It is no doubt that this adjust will have a conclusive effect on addiction rates.
