This article explores how stigma is experienced by service users, staff, and system-level stakeholders of outreach services tailored to this cohort, and how it shapes interactions with health care services, treatment engagement, and service implementation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Ninety-eight semi-structured interviews were conducted with service users, staff, and stakeholders of three outreach-based services for people with SUDs and multiple disadvantages in England. Data were analysed using the iterative categorisation technique. The analysis was guided by a framework informed by a sociological model of stigma and a typology of stigma and discrimination in mental health.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Four themes were identified: (1) stigmatising language and discriminatory practices in primary and acute health care encounters; (2) self-stigma and its impact on help-seeking behaviour; (3) the influence of stigma on the commissioning and sustainability of services tailored to this cohort; and (4) the key role of specialist services, such as outreach services and acute hospital alcohol care teams, in reducing stigma.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Stigma operates across interpersonal and structural levels, undermining equitable care for people with SUDs and multiple disadvantages.
