Stigma toward medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) places an additional burden on people who are trying to stay alive and get well. PGH MOUD was formed because it’s time for a change.

The people behind PGH MOUD all have lived experience with addiction and recovery, some of us with MOUD. Since 2022, we have been working to fight MOUD stigma in four main areas: 1) creating safe spaces; 2) tackling myths; 3) promoting justice; and 4) coming out.

We are thankful to the Life Unites Us campaign and the Staunton Farm Foundation for supporting our efforts.
