This review has highlighted a number of interventions and strategies that have demonstrated some success for reducing stigma related to substance use disorders.

Until such time that there is a more robust body of evidence, it is recommended that these interventions be piloted and evaluated carefully to ascertain whether they are generalizable to different populations and contexts.
