Podcast #78 — Is "Addiction" a Bad Word? Removing Stigma from Our Language
Manage episode 297087855 series 1433233
Why all the hubbub about stigmatizing language when it comes to Substance Use? Is "addiction" a bad word?
Laurie MacDougall is author of the article "The Power of Language," on the Allies in Recovery blog, which explores how removing stigma from the language we use (ie, Substance Use vs. Substance Abuse) can have dramatic effects on the care and treatment people receive.
Laurie explains her position (and how she came to it) to colleagues et co-hosts Kayla and Dominique, who at first admit they'd rather stick to their established ways of referring to Addiction / Substance Use Disorder / Opiate Use Disorder / Alcohol Use Disorder, etc.
Will Laurie win them over?
