Description

New science has identified recovery vital signs as a non-linear dynamic process. Seventy percent of people with substance use disorder will remit. However, the odds are not the same for everyone. In the U.S. Black and Latinx people are half as likely to remit compared to their White counterparts despite having no higher prevalence of substance use disorders. Health disparities can be addressed through a lens of racial literacy, understanding sources and consequences of SUD stigma, the historical role of medical mistrust in Black communities, identification of where disparities exist on the care continua, and implementing evidence-based strategies in the clinic and community.

Target Audience
  • • Counselor
  • • Marriage & Family Therapist
  • • Psychologist
  • • Social Worker
  • • Substance Use Disorder Professionals
