Words Matter | Baystate Health

I PLEDGE

To stop the stigma associated with addiction.

I believe that the words I use in talking about substance use disorder are important in reducing stigma.

I pledge to treat all people with a substance use disorder with dignity and respect.

I pledge to talk about addiction as a chronic illness, not a moral failing.

I pledge to be a leader in reducing stigma and promoting recovery from this disease.
