N2  - The objective of this study was to explore, in-depth, differences in barriers to specialty alcohol and drug treatment services between Black and White participants with recent substance use disorders (SUD). We recruited 34 participants with a recent SUD of White and Black racial/ethnic descent for qualitative interviews. Interviews were coded to identify barriers to specialty treatment. We found that barriers related to stigma and lack of social support were more pervasive in the narratives of Blacks as compared to Whites. Results suggest that stigma and lack of perceived social support may impact Blacks more than Whites in seeking SUD treatment
