The aim of this video is to provide clinical care teams with education on the treatment of bacterial infections in patients with addiction. People who use alcohol and other drugs often experience stigma within the healthcare system, which can result in people delaying much needed medical care. All patients deserve access to the highest quality medical care available. This video also emphasizes that compassionate care for all patients is of equal importance.
