Camden Treatment Associates was honored to attend the Camden County Breaking the Stigma Lunch & Learn yesterday. The event brought together community leaders, healthcare professionals, advocates, and individuals with lived experience to discuss ways to reduce stigma and improve access to treatment and recovery services.
One of the key takeaways was that words matter. Education, compassion, and person-centered language can help break down barriers that prevent people from seeking help.
As an opioid treatment program, we also recognize the stigma that often surrounds methadone treatment. Despite being a safe, evidence-based, and life-saving medication, misconceptions continue to impact those receiving care. Recovery looks different for everyone, and medication-assisted treatment is a valid pathway to recovery.
Thank you to the Camden County Board of Commissioners, the Addiction Awareness Task Force, Cooper University Health Care, and all of the panelists for fostering this important conversation.
