USA. Stop Stigma Now
Stop Stigma Now wants to eradicate the stigma around medically assisted treatment of opioid addiction. We want everyone taking methadone, Buphenorphine (or similar medications) and their family members to feel proud of what they have accomplished in finding the strength and courage to overcome an addiction to opiates.
Stop Stigma Now exists to inform the general public, the court systems, and the medical, nursing and counseling professions about the overwhelming scientific evidence supporting methadone maintenance treatment for opiate addiction. Ultimately, we want to stop the stigma and prejudice directed at both the treatment and the patients. We are happy to have you as an ally in this life-saving work!
