Presenter: Corrie Vilsaint, Ph.D.
Description: Black Americans suffer a disproportionate burden of health and social consequences despite having lower or equivalent prevalence of opioid misuse and opioid use disorder. Fatal overdoses among individuals that identify as Black overtook that of White individuals in 2020 for the first time since 1999. Reaching Black communities alone is not sufficient, engagement must be tailored and informed by recovery science.
Resources are available for those struggling with addiction and numerous effective treatments exist. Whether you are looking for help for yourself or a loved one, we encourage you to seek out help.
