Care for Patients Battling Substance Use

The line between casual drug or alcohol use and addiction can sometimes be difficult to draw. However, when excessive use of substances causes chronic health problems, physical disabilities, or a failure to meet the responsibilities of daily life, a substance use disorder may be at the root. Diagnosed as mild, moderate or severe, substance use disorder is often treatable with the right tools and mentality. Many people facing this discomforting reality not only recover but also live productive, meaningful lives.

What Causes Addiction?

Anyone can become dependent on drugs or alcohol. Some people may even develop an addiction to a drug the first time they try it. Other people may not experience any long-lasting effects. The chance of any person becoming drug or alcohol dependent relies on many different factors, including:

• Genetics
• Environment
• Developmental disorders
