Addiction may be a taboo topic, mostly because it can be a difficult one to understand. The stigma of addiction comes from the negative feelings that many individuals may hold for people struggling with substance use disorders, and their beliefs that poor personal choices are to blame for the disease. On this episode, we tackle some of the stigmas and understandings that are tied to substance use. Joining me is Lisa Jorgenson, AMFT, APCC working with individuals with mental health disorders and substance use. She shares her own personal and professional experience of substance use. Tune in as we scratch the surface on a difficult conversation about addiction and mental health.
