What is Substance Use Disorder?:
Substance Use Disorder (SUD) is a treatable mental disorder that affects a person's brain and behavior, leading to their inability to control their use of substances like legal or illegal drugs, alcohol, or medications. Symptoms can be moderate to severe, with addiction being the most severe form of SUD.
People with a SUD may also have other mental health disorders, and people with mental health disorders may also struggle with substance use. These other mental health disorders can include anxiety disorders, depression, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and schizophrenia, among others.
Recovery is Possible
Recovery from substance use disorders involves a holistic process of healing that addresses not only physical dependence but also the underlying psychological, social, and environmental factors contributing to addictive behaviors. It emphasizes personal growth, resilience, and empowerment, focusing on cultivating healthy coping mechanisms, rebuilding relationships, and reclaiming a fulfilling life free from the grip of addiction. Recovery involves ongoing support, self-reflection, and a commitment to making positive changes, fostering a sense of hope, purpose, and meaning in one's journey towards sustained sobriety and well-being.
