Dignity in SUD Treatment (New Aced It Episode)
In this season’s final episode, we explore the concept of dignity in home-based treatment for individuals with substance use disorders. We discuss recent research showing that someone’s dignity is enhanced when they are shown respect, cared for, and engaged in consistent and informed interactions. On the other hand, dignity is undermined in the presence of stigma, prejudice, or disrespect. Listen to this episode to learn why understanding these factors can improve the quality of care for individuals and is essential to bettering harm reduction efforts.
