Shattering Stigma: A Fresh Look at Substance Use Disorder

Stigma is what prevents people from accessing the care that they need.
How often do we judge someone struggling with addiction without knowing their story? In this compelling episode of 'Recovery Speaks', members of the Ocean County Health Department and HOPE Sheds Light tackle the heavy burden of stigma surrounding substance use disorder. The conversation dives into how society's harsh judgments can prevent individuals from seeking the help they desperately need. Through personal stories and community initiatives, the guests reveal their efforts to foster a more understanding and supportive environment.
You'll hear firsthand accounts of battling addiction, the importance of community events in celebrating recovery, and the powerful impact of open dialogue. Pamela Capaci, CEO of HOPE Sheds Light, emphasizes, 'Stigma is what prevents people from accessing the care that they need'. This episode isn't just about discussing problems; it's about showcasing solutions and inspiring change.
If you or someone you know has been touched by addiction, this episode offers a heartfelt reminder that recovery is possible, and it starts with breaking down barriers.
