Discussion 15.1: Personal Perspectives on Substance Use Disorders
No unread replies.No replies.
Points: 20
Due: Day 3 and Day 6
Introduction
If you are in practice for any amount of time (if you have not already), you will encounter a patient who either is struggling with a substance use disorder or has struggled with this in the past.
Without realizing it, we providers may have beliefs, attitudes, assumptions, thoughts, or ideas that are biased or stigmatizing to others, or use biased or stigmatizing words and language.
In this discussion, use the following questions to examine your own biases or potential for stigmatizing others affected by substance use.
Directions
In your initial post, please address at least three of the following questions:
When you talk about addiction and substance use, what words, terms, or phrases do you use that are stigmatizing and reflect a negative bias?
What are your personal beliefs about why people become addicted or use substances?
Are you more accepting of certain types of addictions more than others (such as addiction to illicit substances versus addiction to “legal” or prescribed substances)? Why?
Do you believe that some addictions are easier to recover from than others? Why?
Do you believe some people are beyond help?
Do you believe that certain substance use treatment approaches are better than others? What are your thoughts on abstinence-based approaches versus medication-assisted treatment?
Is using medication-assisted treatment (such as Suboxone or methadone) essentially replacing one drug with another?
What are your beliefs about recovery and how that looks (such as behaviors, actions, and so on)?
Post your original response by the end of Day 3. Then, by the end of Day 6, respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts.
