What is S.U.D.?

S.U.D. is a chronic disease characterized by compulsive drug or alcohol use despite negative consequences. It causes changes in brain function, particularly in areas responsible for decision-making, behavior control, and reward systems. Individuals with S.U.D. may lose control over their usage, develop a tolerance, and experience withdrawal symptoms when not using. S.U.D. is not just a physical dependence; it also includes emotional and psychological elements that require comprehensive treatment.

What are the signs of an S.U.D.?

Signs of S.U.D. can vary depending on the specific drug or alcohol being used, but common indicators include:

• Cravings or a strong urge to use
• Needing more to achieve the same effect (tolerance)
• Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or quit using
• Spending a significant amount of time obtaining, using, or recovering
• Neglecting work, school, or social responsibilities due to use
• Continuing to use despite awareness of the harm it’s causing
• Withdrawal symptoms when not using

What is S.U.D. treatment?

The team at Hopewell Health Solutions offers S.U.D. treatment that is tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual, focusing on both short-term recovery and long-term relapse prevention.

How do I know that it’s time to seek S.U.D. treatment?

It is important to seek S.U.D. treatment when drug or alcohol use starts to interfere with daily functioning, relationships, or health. Some key indicators that it’s time to seek help include:

• Inability to stop using despite wanting to quit
• Drug or alcohol use causing problems at work, school, or home
• Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed
• Using in risky situations, such as driving
• Experiencing legal, financial, or health issues due to use
• Isolation from loved ones
