Description: 

There are thousands of people in recovery from addiction who are unaware of their civil rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA insures that people with addiction to alcohol and individuals in recovery from opioids and other drugs have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. Attendees will learn how the ADA protects people with disabilities from discrimination in employment, social services agencies, child welfare agencies, courts, prisons, jails, and medical facilities, including hospitals, doctors’ offices, and skilled nursing facilities. This presentation will discuss how the ADA protects people in recovery with opioid use disorder (OUD), including those who are taking legally prescribed medication to treat their opioid use disorder (MOUD).
