Even if someone despises addicts, even if someone puts all the blame for addiction on the individual, the bottom line is, if you want to help and protect the community, the only effective way to do that is by providing treatment to those who are dependent and who want help.
Imagine facing a health crisis and feeling too ashamed to seek help. That's the reality for many struggling with addiction due to the stigma surrounding their condition. In this episode of Steppin' Out Radio, Dr. Robert Newman sheds light on this pressing issue. With over 40 years of experience in addiction treatment, Dr. Newman is a passionate advocate for treating addiction like any other chronic medical condition.
He believes no one should feel disgraced for taking medication to overcome opiate addiction. Dr. Newman’s work with Stop Stigma Now aims to eradicate the shame associated with addiction treatment, and his insights are both eye-opening and inspiring. Through heartfelt discussion, he explains how negative perceptions can hinder recovery and why community support is crucial.
Whether you're directly affected by addiction or looking to support someone who is, this episode offers valuable perspectives on fostering a more compassionate approach to addiction treatment.
