Video Summary
A workshop titled "The New Multidisciplinary Medical Advocacy Team for Traumatized Medically Complex Addicted Patients, Addiction Psychiatry, Medicine, and ADA Lawyers" focused on the protections provided by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for people with substance use disorders. The workshop discussed the discrimination that individuals with substance use disorders often face and highlighted the need for advocacy to ensure their rights are protected. The workshop also addressed the barriers to treatment that individuals with substance use disorders face, such as access to medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) and discrimination in healthcare settings such as skilled nursing facilities. The workshop emphasized the importance of reducing stigma, linking individuals to care and recovery, and reducing criminalization in order to address the overdose epidemic. The workshop also provided information on the anti-discrimination laws that protect people with disabilities, including the ADA, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Affordable Care Act. The workshop concluded by discussing the need for legal remedies to address discrimination and providing resources for advocacy and support.
