    Substance abuse is defined by the continued use of drugs or alcohol despite negative consequences, such as legal or work problems. It can be treated using a variety of services, including therapy and medication.

    Substance abuse treatment is beneficial for:

    • People who have been using drugs or alcohol for a long time.
    • People who have been using drugs or alcohol to cope with stress, anxiety, or depression.
    • People who have a mental health disorder in conjunction with substance abuse.
    • People who continue to use drugs or alcohol despite the harmful effects they cause on their own life and the lives of others.
    • People who have had multiple failed attempts at recovery without medical assistance.

    If you believe that addiction treatment is right for you or a loved one, you can contact your primary care physician, or search for addiction treatment centers in your area. Treatment is beneficial to people who are motivated towards recovery, and who understand the benefits of professional care.

    Opioid addiction is a common form of addiction, often caused by prescription drugs that are abused. Addiction is treated by detoxifying the body and following up with therapies to correct behavior and target the root of the problem.

    Most opioid addiction begins with patients being prescribed painkillers after an injury or surgery. The body becomes used to the chemicals in these medications and soon no longer responds to their presence. As a result, addicts seek out stronger opiate-based medications like Oxycodone to compensate for the lack of effectiveness.

    The most dangerous aspect is that these addictive behaviors often get carried over onto illicit drugs like heroin, which are increasingly potent and result in lower life expectancies.

It can give everyone new tools to manage their emotions so that they don’t want to drink or do drugs.
