Language, Stigma and Advocacy: Looking Beyond the Opioid Epidemic - Poe Center Annual Meeting and Luncheon Conferences

September 26, 2018 - September 28, 2018 All Day

Stigma discourages people from seeking treatment.

When a person with substance use disorder has internalized the negative stigma of the disease, it directly damages that person’s chances of recovery.
