These examples demonstrate approaches to addressing stigma within systems for the treatment of drug use disorders related to psychoactive substances. They include language guides and communication materials designed to promote respectful, non-discriminatory, and person-centred language across services and communities.
They align with the handbook’s emphasis on human rights, dignity, informed consent, and community engagement, supporting recovery-oriented treatment systems and improving trust, access, and engagement among service users, patients, and the wider community.
