In both Brazil and the USA, 'addicts' carries significant social stigma, though there's growing recognition of addiction as a health issue rather than purely a moral failing. The term is commonly used in public health campaigns and rehabilitation contexts. In Brazil, drug addiction is a serious public health concern in urban areas, while in the USA, the opioid crisis has brought renewed attention to addiction treatment and prevention.
