Abstract
I
t has been reported that substance use disorders are more highly stigmatized than other health conditions (Schomerus et al., 2011). There is no physical or psychiatric condition more related with social disapproval and discrimination than alcohol and/or other drug dependence (Corrigan et al., 2006).
Drug addiction and alcoholism consistently rank among the most devalued stigmatized characteristics worldwide. Compared with other stigmatized mental and physical illnesses (e.g., schizophrenia, HIV) (Room, 2005) stigma associated with substance use is considered a significant barrier to detection and treatment, and research is needed to understand and address this issue (Kulesza et al., 2013).
