Todd Harvey, MSN, RN, CARN Senior Clinician, 12E UPMC Mercy Abstract: In the treatment of patients living with substance use disorders (SUDs), clinicians often confront a variety of unique ethical issues for which they must account, within themselves and within the broader healthcare system. One significant factor, stigma, both for SUDs and disabilities, limits the overall beneficence of receiving treatment due to unaddressed clinician biases or gaps in knowledge. This presentation will discuss how stigma manifests in treatment settings while highlighting action individuals can take to improve the treatment of both SUD and patients with disabilities.
