Sick Not Stupid is an educational app for anyone affected by opioid use disorder.
Sick Not Stupid has one purpose: to help people recover by sharing what we’ve learned from research and from patient behavior over the years.
We’re advocates for treatment. We want to help you fight shame. We don’t believe people should be punished for seeking help.
Because despite what you may have heard, opioid addiction does not discriminate. Nor is it the untreatable monster that we used to believe it was.
You can get better.
You can recover.
With the overdose epidemic shattering lives all over the country, it’s truer now than ever.
Shame Kills.
We want you alive. If you’re dead, you can’t recover.
Our mission is to help you know what to expect in treatment, to identify obstacles, find support groups, and most of all, to free you from shame.
If you’re considering treatment, get the app to learn how to identify the treatment that’s best for you.
If you’re a friend or family member of someone suffering from opioid use disorder, get the app to learn more about what they’re going through – without ads, without prejudice, and without the myths that are all over popular culture.
If you’re an existing patient in medication-assisted treatment, get the app to learn how to manage your treatment more effectively.
