Substance Use Disorders (Alcohol, Opioids, Cannabis, etc.)
Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) involve the repeated and harmful use of substances like alcohol, opioids, cannabis, nicotine, and stimulants. These conditions are marked by compulsive consumption, inability to quit despite negative outcomes, and changes in brain activity. They can affect physical health, mental well-being, and social relationships. Successful treatment relies on early diagnosis, behavioral interventions, medication support, and improved access to care, along with efforts to reduce stigma.
