Program for Substance Use and Stigma of Addiction

Programs

The Weill Cornell/New York-Presbyterian  Program for Substance Use and Stigma of Addiction  is dedicated to combating the negative attitudes that exist towards individuals with substance use disorders.  Our work primarily focuses on the stigma that exists in the medical community towards addiction, but also focuses on stigma that exists in other spaces that should be the safest, such as the home, workplace, and justice system.
