Support #StateWithoutStigMA

Together, we can end the stigma of addiction and
be a state without stigma.

Stigmas about addiction can be negative, biased feelings, words or behaviors towards people living with addiction. Stigma creates barriers– and can prevent people from getting treatment or staying in recovery.
