Have you signed the Brigham Health: Hospitals without Stigma Pledge yet?
“YES” – Great! We (B-CORE) and your patients with a substance use disorder thank you.
“No” – Now might be a good time to give it a read and pledge: to recognize the power of words, to treat all people with a substance use disorder with respect, to recognize a substance use disorder as a chronic medical condition, and to be an advocate for treatment and recovery from this disease.
The words we use matter.
Together we can reduce stigma through language.
