Recovery Dharma

Substance Recovery · Vermont · Free

Buddhist-inspired peer-led recovery community welcoming all identities. Relevant for people in recovery who need affirming sponsors, sober social life, and trauma-informed therapy. Harm reduction (Narcan, fentanyl test strips, syringe exchange) is widely available; most LGBTQ+ centers stock supplies. LGBTQ+ adults have 2–4x higher rates of substance use disorder than straight peers — minority stress is the driver, not identity. All services free of charge to LGBTQ+ Vermont residents and allies.
