*A Note on Language
We honor the experiences of participants with lived/living experience by not changing the language people used in these videos. 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. Not doing so leads to worse outcomes and experiences. Please review this NIDA page on person-first language for preferred terms to use when communicating both verbally and in charts.
The ACT way – how 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.
