We want to hear your story
Discrimination in healthcare against people who use substances takes many forms, such as:
- treating someone differently or unequally because of their substance use or fears about substance use
- using policies and procedures that prevent people who use substances from participating in a program or receiving services
- failing to provide people who have a substance use disorder with a “reasonable accommodation” that is needed for participating in a program or receiving services
Disability Rights North Carolina (DRNC) is asking for stories of people who use substances who have been treated differently by a healthcare facility/provider because of their past or current substance use. These stories can help us fight for appropriate healthcare for people who use substances.
