Problem Statement
Individuals experiencing addiction are unable to access healthcare services due to cost, geographic location, stigma, and feeling ignored or shamed by healthcare providers. This prevents these individuals from receiving treatment for recovery leading to increase financial and relationship hardships and a decline in individual’s physical health.
Rationale
This Capstone is needed because when these individuals are
seeking out help they are running into barriers. These barriers are the reason why they do not have a chance to recover. If there were different policies around individuals experiencing addictions it could help minimize the barriers that are experienced leading to an increase in recovery.
