HealthDay (12/5, Mundell) reports “methamphetamine abuse has long plagued the gay community, but a new study finds that any form of substance abuse treatment can help users quit.” Researchers “tracked outcomes for 285 Los Angeles men who said they’d used meth at least once during the 2014-2022 study period.”
The researchers “found that if these men were involved in any form of substance abuse treatment – even if it was for another drug, such as opioids or cannabis – rates of meth use went down.” The findings were published in the Journal of Substance Use and Addiction Treatment.
