Black patients and Addiction Counseling
Black addiction counselors: substance use, MAT, recovery support. Black overdose deaths rose nearly 50 percent since 2020, and care access matters.
Overdose deaths among Black Americans have risen faster than any other racial group since 2019, with Black men ages 25 to 44 seeing a nearly 50 percent increase in overdose mortality (CDC, 2023). Yet Black patients are less likely to receive medications for opioid use disorder (buprenorphine, methadone) and more likely to be incarcerated for the same substance-use behavior. Black addiction counselors provide talk-therapy recovery support and can connect you with MAT (medication-assisted treatment) prescribers.
