The Puerto Vallarta municipal government, led by Mayor Luis Munguía, has joined forces with Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) to combat alcoholism and drug addiction within the community, including the LGBTQ+ community.

This collaborative effort, spearheaded by the Health Commission and the Sexual Diversity Division, aims to provide crucial support and raise awareness among residents, with a particular focus on the LGBTQ+ community.

The recent 30th National Week of “Sharing Efforts,” celebrated by the Mexican Central of General Services of Alcoholics Anonymous A.C, saw active participation from both the Health Commission and the Sexual Diversity Division. This initiative underscores the government’s commitment to addressing the root causes of these issues, particularly among vulnerable populations.

Héctor Ramírez Betancourt, head of Puerto Vallarta’s new Sexual Diversity Department, emphasized the importance of proactive measures to reduce the prevalence of alcoholism and drug addiction, especially among youth. He highlighted that Mayor Munguía’s administration is committed to promoting positive mental health and creating a supportive environment for all residents.

“One of our key objectives,” stated Betancourt, “is to implement strategies that not only address the immediate challenges of addiction but also prevent individuals from falling into these harmful patterns in the first place.” He further emphasized the significance of collaboration with organizations like AA, stating, “We wholeheartedly welcome the valuable recovery programs offered by AA, and we will actively work with them, alongside Councilwoman Laurel Carrillo and the Health Commission, to ensure the well-being of all Puerto Vallarta residents.”

This partnership between the government and AA represents a significant step forward in the fight against addiction in Puerto Vallarta. By combining the resources and expertise of both sectors, they aim to create a more informed and supportive community where individuals struggling with alcoholism and drug addiction can access the help they need to recover and lead healthy, fulfilling lives.
