Substance use disorder (SUD) is a chronic condition that involves the compulsive use of alcohol or drugs despite negative consequences. Over time, substance abuse can lead to physical dependence and addiction, requiring professional treatment for recovery.


Effects of Substance Abuse
Substance abuse affects various aspects of life, including:

  • Health: Chronic substance use can lead to liver disease, heart problems, respiratory issues, and mental health disorders.

  • Relationships: Addiction often strains family bonds, friendships, and workplace relationships, leading to social isolation.

  • Legal Issues: Individuals may face arrests, legal penalties, or incarceration due to substance-related activities.

  • Financial Impact: Substance use can lead to job loss, financial instability, and difficulty maintaining responsibilities.

  • Mental Health Complications: Substance abuse is commonly linked with co-occurring mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder.

 

Early intervention and treatment are essential for breaking the cycle of addiction and restoring health and well-being.
