Despite Decades of public education of the public do not believe that a person with a substance use disorder, Sud, is experiencing a chronic medical illness like diabetes, arthritis or heart disease.
Ever wondered why addiction carries such a heavy stigma? This episode of 'Busting Addiction and Its Myths' dives into the often-overlooked prejudices that surround substance use disorder (SUD). Drawing from Shatterproof's extensive national survey, the hosts uncover some startling truths about societal attitudes towards addiction. Did you know that only a quarter of adults see SUD as a chronic disease?
This misconception leads to thousands of preventable deaths each year as shame and stigma prevent many from seeking the help they need. The discussion doesn't stop there. The episode also tackles how stigma causes social isolation, even for those in recovery, and how even healthcare professionals can fall prey to these damaging myths. By treating addiction as a chronic disease, we can create a more supportive environment for those struggling with SUD. Curious about what you can do to help?
Tune in to find out how you can make a difference in your community and combat these harmful stereotypes.
