Recovery from opioid use disorder (OUD) can be a challenging journey due to various barriers.
Here are the five of the most consistent barriers to OUD recovery:
Addressing these barriers requires a comprehensive approach that includes increasing access to affordable and integrated treatment, reducing stigma through public education, strengthening support networks, and implementing policies that support rather than penalize individuals with OUD. By tackling these obstacles, we can create a more supportive environment for those on the path to recovery.
At Athens Health we are working toward removing the most common barriers between OUD sufferers and treatment.
