Members: Free

Registration required

Program description:
With increased attention on the current opioid epidemic, the topics of substance use, its complications and how society will address it have become part of our national dialogue. Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a chronic, recurrent brain disease, yet increasingly, the language used to describe addiction and the people who suffer from it has been implicated in promoting stigma. This stigma may make it difficult for providers to remain unbiased in treating OUD patients and limit patients’ willingness to seek help. This webinar examines the detrimental effects of stigma in the treatment of substance use disorders and offers suggestions on how to mitigate its harms and maintain providers’ resilience while caring for patients with OUD.

Objectives:
At the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:  

• Recognize the effects of language that is used in our current culture to describe substance use and patients with a substance use disorder.
• Describe how certain terms can be inaccurate or dehumanizing and how they may result in the inappropriate delivery of care.
• Identify the current recommended terminology in addiction and the evidence to support its use.
• Implement practice changes that can minimize stigma in the treatment of addiction and support providers involved in the care of patients with addiction.
