Substance Abuse and Addiction

What is it?

Addiction is a brain disease that gives sufferers a compulsive inability to stop using an addictive substance, despite negative consequences. The American Psychiatric Association now defines addiction as the most severe form of a substance use disorder (SUD).

3 Reasons it Matters

1. SUD matters because of the profound negative consequences it causes to a person’s physical and mental health.
2. This disorder disrupts relationships: both personal and professional.
3. Addiction can have a devastating impact on finances, due to loss of work, health issues, and sometimes, legal costs.
