Smashing the Stigma of Addiction

Ever wonder why people hesitate to get help for addiction? This eye-opening episode tackles the harmful stigma surrounding addiction and debunks the myth that it only affects certain types of people. By moving away from loaded terms like "alcoholic" and "drug addict" to more accurate medical terms like "alcohol use disorder," we can help people see addiction for what it really is - a treatable medical condition, not a personal failure. Learn how changing the way we talk and think about addiction can open the door for more people to get the help they deserve, because at the end of the day, it's not about shame - it's about getting better.
