Substance abuse (also called substance use disorder) means that you excessively use drugs or drink alcohol. Substance use disorder encompasses broad levels of abuse, from moderate overuse to chemical dependency.
You can abuse many different substances, including:
Though you can overuse any of these substances without becoming dependent, the more you use them, the closer you come to crossing the line from abuse to addiction.
These symptoms are all signs of substance abuse that’s turning into a dependency:
When symptoms like nausea and shakiness improve by taking more of your drug, it’s a sure sign of substance abuse.
The first step for treating substance abuse is detoxing to clear it out of your body. Detoxing should always be done under the close supervision of Overcoming Addictions LLC. They prescribe medications that let you safely detox by preventing withdrawal symptoms and stopping cravings.
The length of time you need to stay on medically assisted treatment (MAT) depends on the severity of your usage and in many cases, on the substance you take. For example, it takes longer to get over opioid withdrawal symptoms compared with most other substances.
In addition to medication, Overcoming Addictions LLC provides therapy. MAT helps you detox and restores normal brain chemistry, but therapy gives you the coping skills you need to prevent a relapse while moving forward into a thriving life.
You can get all of your treatment in the privacy of your own home by requesting telehealth appointments. Or you can meet your therapist on-site in their peaceful, private office.
If you have questions about substance abuse or need help detoxing, call Overcoming Addictions LLC or schedule an appointment over the phone. They answer the phone 24/7, so help is always at hand.
Hope, Help, Heal.
This is an Immediate Solution.
