In a survey conducted in 2001, it was found that 88% of respondents believe it is very important for the American public to see that thousands get well every year. A 2004 Survey of the general public found:<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<ul class=\"innerList defaultList\">\n<li><span class=\"font-size-16 lh-1\"><i>A majority of Americans (63%) have been affected by addiction.<\/i><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"lh-1 font-size-16\"><i>A majority (67%) believe that there is a stigma toward people in recovery.<\/i><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"lh-1 font-size-16\"><i>A majority (74%) say that attitudes &amp; policies must change.<\/i><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"lh-1 font-size-16\"><i>And in 2005, 8 focus groups in four cities were conducted with members of both the recovery community &amp; the general public.<\/i><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>These findings informed a way to use language to reduce discrimination and promote recovery from substance use disorders in a positive way. Additionally, Harvard University\u2019s John Kelly, director of the Recovery Research Institute at Massachusetts General Hospital, has conducted research about the stigma attached to people with substance abuse problems. His findings indicate that even among well-trained doctoral level mental health clinicians and addiction specialists, exposure to certain language may create an implicit bias that may result in harsher punitive judgments that perpetuate stigmatizing attitudes toward individuals and families suffering from addiction. These may create barriers to honest self-disclosure and seeking treatment for alcohol or drug problems.

We help to advance the recovery agenda by teaching five important aspects of a recovery message:<\/div>\n<div>Make it personal, so that we have credibility<\/div>\n<div>Keep it simple and in the present tense, so that it is real and understandable<\/div>\n<div>Help people understand that recovery means that you or the person that you care about is no longer using alcohol or other drugs. Instead of saying \u201cin recovery\u201d say \u201cin long-term recovery\u201d and talk about stability and the length of recovery time<\/div>\n<div>Talk about your recovery, not your addiction<\/div>\n<div>Help people understand that there\u2019s more to recovery than not using, and part of recovery is creating a better life<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>We teach people in recovery, our families and allies how to tell their stories with a purpose.
