Substance Use Disorder

Let’s face it. People use drugs or alcohol to meet a need. It’s a solution to a problem.

Whether it’s stress from the job, the spouse, the kids, the bills, or something much deeper, “taking the edge off” can be helpful.

However, it can seem so “helpful” that it becomes hard to use any other tool for dealing with life.

When drugs and/or alcohol become the only way of “dealing” with stress or pain, the drugs and/or alcohol can become the “problem.”

Getting help for substance use can be extremely difficult. There is a great deal of guilt and shame associated with “having a problem.”

Sometimes the people around us don’t know that help is needed, which makes it even harder to reach out.

Or, what does help even mean?

It takes a great deal of courage to ask for help.
