There is a movement afloat today that emphasizes the stigma associated with substance use disorders, AKA addictions. The suggested response of this movement is to enlighten the public, as well as the client, to avoid stigmatizing words in fear that some folks will avoid treatment due to such words. Treatment is meant to prepare the person to deal with life without their drug of choice and treatment lasts only a few days. Then how is the person to deal with the stigma? How are they able to receive long term support of 12 step groups that use the very terms they were taught to avoid? This book helps the person with a substance use disorder dis-empower the stigmatizing words affording them the ability to live freely and gain the benefit of the most effective support for long term sobriety- Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous.
