Description
Drug addiction and alcoholism consistently rank among the most devalued stigmatized characteristics world-wide. Approximately 2 in 5 women in the United States struggle with illicit drug use. About 4.6 million report opioid misuse or opioid use disorder (OUD). In addition, women with substance use disorders (SUDs) are experiencing unique and distinct differences in stigma related to their substance use. This stigma is coming from varied sources and through many different forms including mislabeling, misinformation, the media, and a devalued maternal/child relationship. Mothers frequently experience different types of adverse health encounters during the perinatal and postpartum period that also contribute to stigma. Don’t Quit the Quit (DQTQ) is a North Dakota grant program funded by the Foundation for Opioid Response Efforts. DQTQ is increasing access to treatment for women with OUD, expanding postpartum doula support for families struggling with OUD, and increasing community education and awareness about OUD in efforts to decrease stigma. This presentation explores the stigma women with opioid use disorder and SUDs may encounter and examines strategies to decrease stigma and improve care for women and families.
