About us …

Stigma Unraveled: Addiction Unmaked is a newsletter and a community concerned about the biggest barrier to the treatment of addiction and substance use disorders: stigma.

Our Mission

• To explore, understand, and reduce the stigma associated with addiction and substance use disorder.

• To positively influence the experiences of people with addiction when they seek treatment in the healthcare system.

• To increase the willingness of health professionals to screen, refer, and treat people with addictions.

You can be part of a community of people who share our interests.
