The Durham County Department of Public Health sponsors training opportunities on substance use disorder for public health staff, healthcare providers, and community members. These trainings educate individuals about the benefits of treatment, harm reduction, peer support, and trauma-informed care. The main goal is to reduce the stigma of substance use disorder in the community by spreading the message that it is a treatable clinical diagnosis rather than a moral failing.
