ABSTRACT
Stigma and discrimination create barriers to care among people receiving medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD). We report qualitative findings from a mixed methods study guided by three aims:
to explore (1) intersecting identities of people receiving MOUD (2) how individuals experience stigma and discrimination and (3) helpful resources in addressing cumulative experiences of multiple forms of disadvantage. We conducted interviews with 25 individuals in three treatment centers in the Northeast United States and identified six themes (1) Living with multiple socially marginalized identities and addiction; (2) Loss; (3) "It's everywhere" Discrimination and stigma; (4) A "damaged" identity, (5) Positive responses to negative experiences Facing reality and becoming accountable, and (6) Experiencing treatment and identifying supportive interventions. Findings highlight the complexity of intersecting, marginalized social positions. Future work should look beyond one-size-fits-all approaches to care and recognize individual vulnerabilities and strengths for improving outcomes among those experiencing OUD.
