Negative stigma associated with drug addicted persons

Abstract

For those of us who are set in our ways, we must first seek to understand that we may not grasp everything. Through my life, I have found that the best way to approach any situation or circumstance is to not have pre-conceived notions about more than we can see with the naked eye. Addiction poses a strong negative stigma, because most people see it as a choice. My personal journey through drug addiction counseling has undoubtedly changed the way I empathize with people and has inspired me to instill this transition in others.
