Substance abuse and Addiction

Substance abuse and addiction—also called substance use disorder—is a serious condition where a person continues using drugs or alcohol even when it's causing harm to their health, relationships, or daily life. It can be incredibly difficult to stop, even when someone wants to, because addiction affects both the brain and body. Cravings, habits, and withdrawal symptoms often make quitting feel overwhelming.

​

Addiction can affect anyone—regardless of age, gender, or background—and it impacts not only the person struggling, but also their loved ones. The emotional, physical, and social toll can be devastating if left untreated.

​

But recovery is possible. With professional support, people can break free from substance use and start building a healthier, more fulfilling life. Therapy, medication, and support systems can all play an important role in healing.
