<p data-start="0" data-end="469">Substance Use Disorder (SUD) is a chronic medical condition characterized by the recurrent use of alcohol, prescription medications, or illicit drugs despite harmful consequences. It affects the brain's reward, motivation, and self-control systems, making it difficult for individuals to stop using substances even when they want to. Over time, repeated substance use can alter brain chemistry, leading to cravings, tolerance, dependence, and, in some cases, addiction.</p>
<p data-start="471" data-end="841">SUD can range from mild to severe, depending on the number of diagnostic criteria a person meets. Common signs include an inability to control substance use, spending significant time obtaining or using substances, neglecting personal or professional responsibilities, experiencing withdrawal symptoms, and continuing use despite physical, emotional, or social problems.</p>
<p data-start="843" data-end="1166">The disorder can involve a wide range of substances, including alcohol, opioids, stimulants, cannabis, and sedatives. Genetic, environmental, and psychological factors all contribute to the risk of developing SUD. Trauma, stress, family history, and co-occurring mental health conditions can further increase vulnerability.</p>
<p data-start="1168" data-end="1518" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">Importantly, Substance Use Disorder is a treatable condition. Effective treatment options include behavioral therapies, counseling, medication-assisted treatment, and long-term recovery support. Early diagnosis and comprehensive care can significantly improve outcomes, helping individuals regain control of their lives and maintain lasting recovery.</p>
