*A Note on Language
We honor these stories by not adjusting the language people used to share their own experiences. However, some of the videos contain language that can perpetuate stigma toward people with substance use disorders. As healthcare workers, we should use person-first language to reduce stigma and bias when discussion addiction. Not doing so leads to worse outcomes and experiences. Please review this NIDA page on person-first language for preferred terms to use when talking to and about people who use drugs.
The Addiction Care Team is revolutionizing hospital care for patients with substance use disorders
Compassionate care, appropriately treating withdrawal, medication treatment and linkage to resources are just a few of the ways the Addiction Care Team supports patients. And it's making a difference.
The Addiction Care Team was essential in my getting well... Why even bother? But they did bother. They were persistent enough that I was willing to try it.
- Bryan, Student in Addiction Studies
