Question

In your lifetime, what changes have you observed in how society perceives substance use? How do these shifts intersect with mental health, race, socioeconomic status, and access to treatment? Consider the following questions to guide your response (you do not need to answer each question, just use them to help shape your critical thinking): How have public attitudes toward specific substances and addiction changed over time? What role have policies (e.g., war on drugs, three-strikes-rule, cannabis legalization, responses to the crack epidemic vs. opioid epidemic), scientific research, and media representation, played in shaping these attitudes? How have these shifts affected access to treatment for people with substance use disorders? How have racial and socioeconomic disparities affected who receives treatment versus who faces incarceration?
