Navigating addiction treatment can be confusing, discouraging, and frustrating for individuals seeking help and for the families and communities who support them. Although effective treatments exist, including life-saving medications like buprenorphine (Suboxone), many people never receive care, struggle to stay engaged, or encounter stigma and misinformation that block their path to recovery. This workshop will offer a deeper dive into the concepts presented during the NOPN webinar, The Path to Recovery: Understanding the Ups and Downs of Addiction Treatment. During the workshop, participants will discuss how stigma and misinformation create barriers to care in their community and what providers, advocates, and community members can do to expand access, reduce harm, and create more compassionate pathways to recovery. Participants will leave with practical insights and next steps they can take to support individuals and families affected by substance use disorder.
