Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and Substance Use Disorders (SUD) are chronic conditions characterized by an inability to control or stop substance use despite negative consequences. These disorders can impact physical health, mental well-being, and relationships. Compassion and understanding are crucial in addressing the complex nature of addiction.
Symptoms include:
- Craving or urges to use substances
- Loss of control over use
- Continued use despite negative consequences
- Tolerance and withdrawal symptoms
- Neglecting responsibilities in favor of substance use
Treatment for AUD and SUD may involve counseling, medication-assisted therapy, and support groups. A holistic approach addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction.
