The Truth About Substance Abuse

How can I break out of this cycle?

Substance Use Disorders are viewed as primary, chronic diseases of brain reward, motivation, memory and related circuitry. Dysfunction in these circuits leads to characteristic biological, psychological, social and spiritual manifestations. This is reflected in an individual pathologically pursuing reward and/or relief by other behaviors.

A Substance Use Disorder ranges in severity from mild to severe.

The brain’s structure and functioning are affected by the duration and frequency of the use and the experiences people have while using.

Are There Underlying Issues?

People who struggle with recovery often begin or continue using because they have underlying, or co-occurring symptoms related to mental stress, negative moods, trauma-related symptoms or post trauma. Continued use also exacerbates the symptoms of these conditions. This can make remaining abstinent very difficult.
