Session 1 – Stigma and Substance Use: Rewriting the Narrative: Learning from Hamsterdams: How Zoning, Real Estate, and Public Policy Create Drug Containment Zones

Format: Podcast
Many cities, and especially cities with high real estate prices, have clearly defined zones in which public drug use and sales are implicitly tolerated while more stringent enforcement continues everywhere else. Given that addiction services (like methadone clinics or residential programs) are often mobilized to serve these zones and/or deliberately segregated to remain within them–what should our relationship to these zones be as addiction care providers? The podcast will explore the challenges, problems, and opportunities these zones can create for people who use drugs and the providers who care for them.
