Training strengthens staff skills to provide comprehensive care. The initiative seeks to create a more favorable environment for the recovery and social reintegration of addicts. Remar more than 30 years working for people with addiction problems
The NGO REMAR Nicaragua, together with 12 addiction rehabilitation centers, had the honor of receiving representatives of the Institute against Alcoholism and Drug Addiction (ICAD) for the second training of the year focused on the topic of Stigma. This initiative seeks to strengthen the capabilities and knowledge of rehabilitation center staff to provide more comprehensive and quality care to people fighting addictions.
A commitment to quality care
The training, carried out at the REMAR Nicaragua facilities, had the active participation of representatives from 12 rehabilitation centers throughout the country. During the day, ICAD experts addressed in depth the issue of stigma associated with addictions, both in people who suffer from them and in society in general.
The main objective of the training was to sensitize the centers’ staff about the negative repercussions of stigma and provide them with tools to combat it in their daily practice. In this way, we seek to create a more favorable and understanding environment for people who seek to overcome their addictions, promoting their recovery and social reintegration.
Stigma in the Context of Addiction
Stigma in the context of addiction refers to the negative attitudes, prejudices, and discrimination faced by people struggling with addiction. This stigma can manifest itself in the form of moral judgments, social rejection, and lack of support, making it difficult for addicts to seek and receive appropriate treatment, compounding the isolation and marginalization of those struggling with addiction.
REMAR: Gratitude and commitment
REMAR Nicaragua expressed its deep gratitude to ICAD for the opportunity to host this important training and for its continued support in the fight against addictions. Likewise, they reaffirmed their commitment to quality care and the well-being of people experiencing addiction problems.
