Fairfax, Va. – September 11, 2026 -- Three in four adults believe fear of exposure stops people with substance use disorder from seeking treatment, according to a new survey from Inova Health System.

The survey polled more than 500 Northern Virginia adults

Inova's eighth annual Act on Addiction survey found stigma remains the top barrier to care in the region. Fewer than 20% of respondents knew that substance use is classified as a brain disorder, one that alters brain circuits governing reward, stress and self-control. Nearly 9 in 10 respondents said raising awareness of that fact would reduce stigma in their community.

Trust in community support varies sharply by group

Just 48% of respondents believed their community would be supportive if someone openly discussed their recovery journey. That confidence dropped among women (44%), Black respondents (45%), Hispanic respondents (47%) and rural Virginians (43%).

Los Angeles – September 11, 2026 -- Peptide Tracker, a free iOS and Android app for logging peptide protocols, has rolled out three updates -- versions 2.15.0 through 2.17.0 -- adding split-dose tracking, a fully custom compound library, and new organization tools at no cost.

The app now supports doses drawn from two separate vials

When a single vial doesn't hold enough liquid for a full dose, users can split the draw across two vials, with the app guiding them through each vial's own syringe markings. The dose history log then reflects the split accurately. The setup process also now asks how a dose is measured before showing matching units, reducing mix-ups between drug amount and syringe marks.
