BackgroundDiscrimination and stigmatization of patients who use psychoactive drugs or who have addiction is common in health care. 1–4 Using people-first, medically accurate, and stereotype-reducing language with colleagues, trainees, and in documentation 5 is fundamental to dispelling stigma 6 and misperceptions, such as the myth of addiction as a willful personal choice or moral failing. The right words can convey empathy and reduce mistrust in health care for patients who have often faced a history of marginalization. This Fast Facts discusses health care stigmatization of patients who use drugs or have addiction, and will present preferred language that respects personhood, supports recovery, promotes accurate knowledge about the full spectrum of substance use, and supports an understanding of addiction as a chronic treatable condition (see Fast Fact# 127).
