 riences with stigmatization while in treatment for substance use and thei
 r strategies for coping and managing these experiences. To identify the c
 ircumstances in which individuals feel stigmatized due to their current o
 r former status as someone who uses substances as well as coping methods 
 they use to manage feelings of stigmatization. Methods We conducted semi-
 structured interviews with individuals in treatment for substance use in 
 Connecticut and Georgia (n=56) about experiences with stigmatization\, an
 d differences in stigmatization by specific substances and modality of su
 bstance use (i.e. injection vs non-injection vs solely alcohol use. Theme
 s were analyzed using The Health Stigma and Discrimination Framework. Res
 ults Five preliminary themes were identified: Substance-specific and moda
 lity stigmatization\; participants identified increased stigmatization fo
 r criminalized substances and substances used intravenously\, compared to
  non-criminalized substances and non-injection modalities. Rejection of s
 tereotypes\; participants had empathetic perceptions of substance use whi
 le acknowledging stigmatizing practices from peers in treatment environme
 nts. Religion/spirituality coping strategies\; participants identified re
 ligious/spiritual practices as a method of managing feelings of being sti
 gmatized. Familial and healthcare stigma\; participants described stigmat
 ization from healthcare practitioners and family. Recovery-sensitive care
 \; participants favored treatment providers with lived experience using s
 ubstances to minimize their experience of stigmatization. Conclusion Prog
 rams are needed that minimize stigmatization that exists within treatment
  and healthcare contexts\, including stigma from providers\, families\, a
 nd fellow individuals who use substances. Recommendations include priorit
 izing treatment providers who have personal experience with substance use
