What is Substance Use Disorder?

Substance Use Disorder (SUD) is a is a disease that affects a person’s brain and behavior and leads to an inability to control the use of a legal or illegal drug or medication. It typically includes continuing to use a substance, even though you know it’s causing problems in your life including physical or psychological harm. Someone with SUD may feel that they have to use the substance regularly, daily or even several times a day, or have intense urges for the substance to block out other thoughts. Over time, the person may use more of the substance to get the same effect and make certain that they maintain a supply of the substance.

If you are unsure whether you or someone you love has Substance Use Disorder, seek help from one of our trained professionals or visit a physician.
