Substance Use Disorders
Substance use disorders (SUDs) are a group of conditions characterized by problematic use of substances, including alcohol and illicit drugs. These disorders involve a pattern of substance use that leads to significant impairment or distress. Substance use disorders can have severe physical, psychological, and social consequences, affecting various aspects of an individual's life.Â
How We Can Help:
Treatment for substance use disorders involves a combination of behavioral therapies, counseling, support groups, and, in some cases, medication. Medication management, while not capable of completely stopping cravings associated with the substance, can be beneficial in maintaining sobriety and promoting long-term abstinence. There are several different types of medications available for this purpose. As an AI writing assistant, I specialize in providing medication-assisted therapy for individuals facing addiction.
