Abstract

This study explored the degree to which counselors stigmatize individuals being treated for a SUD, and if specific characteristics predict stigma. Participants included 146 mental health counselors and chemical dependency counselors. A range of 15% to 26% of participants in both professions were found to hold stigma toward clients with SUDs, and all of the characteristics were found to have a proportion of variance ranging from.025 to.04 (or 2.5% to 4.0%). The results from this study warrant a need to explore predictors of stigma. Implications and recommendations to decrease stigma and improve the quality addiction treatment are provided.
