Alcohol & Other Drugs<\/h4>\n

There are two main factors that negatively affect the stigma placed on a disorder: perceived control<\/strong> that a person has over the condition and perceived fault<\/strong> in acquiring the condition. Labeling someone or referring to someone as an “addict” or “alcoholic”, whether intentional or not, is not your role and perpetuates the stigma.<\/p>\n

Remember, using Person-First Language<\/a> is recommended whenever speaking to someone who you are concerned for.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n <\/div>\n\n
