Barriers to Recovery: Stigma and Discrimination (original) (raw)

Abstract

The PowerPoint presentation explores our understanding of, and reactions to problematic drug use. Populist punitive discourse perceives physiological and psychological dependence upon drugs as key drivers that perpetuate ongoing ‘addiction’ that threatens society. instead I explore the links between the war on drugs, the social construction of 'drugs' and the social barriers faced by problem drug users.
