L’objectif

This project explores the lived experiences of persons who were in recovery from opioid use disorder (OUD) or a family member of someone with OUD with a focus on stigma.

Constatations/points à retenir

Thematic analysis found three overarching types of stigma that were described by participants, 1) Social stigma: misconceptions contributing to social stigma, labeling and associative stereotypes, persistence of stigma throughout recovery; 2) Self-stigma: internalized feelings due to stigma, concealing and continuing substance use, inadequacies of navigating recovery; and 3) Structural stigma: treatment and recovery resource barriers, challenges of reintegration.
