Introduction
Marginalization of people with comorbid substance use disorder and mental illness is a negative consequence that can significantly complicate the treatment and recovery process for them. In this regard, it is necessary to raise awareness and take initiatives that could reduce stigmatization. Such decisions can notably influence the willingness of many people to recognize the issue and receive treatment, which will create a healthier society.
Comorbid Substance Use Disorder and Mental Illness
The needs of the audience correspond to the statement of the problem and the solution that was proposed since various actors, such as politicians and public representatives, play a significant role in them. This, in turn, is in the public interest as they will be able to directly influence the reduction of condemnation of people who use substances excessively or have mental illness. The proposed compounds are aimed at raising awareness and thus improving public attitudes towards persons with addiction. Bringing attention to individuals with substance dependence may be helpful in ensuring that they receive adequate treatment (Khalid et al., 2020). The needs of the audience will be met by creating a more inclusive society.
The proposed changes may affect the psychology specialty in such a way that it will allow the promotion of more detailed programs so that people will understand the activities of specialists in the field of mental health. The solutions voiced may benefit a specific population group that suffers from marginalization and stigmatization. The direct recipients of the benefits of decisions made are persons with addiction to psychoactive substances (Khalid et al., 2020). They will be able to feel the help and attention of society.
Conclusion
In conclusion, addressing stigma and eliminating this negative effect is essential in order to create more equal conditions for all members of society. Reducing the marginalization and the emergence of stigmatization of people with drug addiction may increase their willingness to enter treatment. This should be a significant event for people as it will mean that individuals who have problems with certain substances will receive the necessary treatment.
