When someone is suffering from substance abuse, they can be using alcohol, hard drugs like cocaine and crystal meth or prescription medications like Oxycontin. In essence, the term can encompass a wide range of substances.

In the past, it was difficult for members of the GLBTQ community to find help for their substance abuse problems. Traditional treatment facilities were designed with the heterosexual population in mind, forcing gay men and women to adjust to their programs and services. Sometimes they would encounter overt homophobia, discrimination and prejudice. As a result, many gay individuals gave up on treatment. This is the reason that Freedom Rings was founded.
