Substance-related disorder is a term used to describe a range of conditions that can occur when a person uses or becomes dependent on a particular substance, such as alcohol, drugs, or tobacco. These disorders can have a significant impact on a person's physical and mental health, as well as their relationships and daily life.
Definition[edit]
Substance-related disorders are classified into two main categories: substance use disorders and substance-induced disorders. Substance use disorders are characterized by the harmful use of a substance that leads to significant impairment or distress. Substance-induced disorders, on the other hand, include conditions such as intoxication, withdrawal, and other substance/medication-induced mental disorders.
Symptoms[edit]
The symptoms of substance-related disorders can vary widely depending on the type of substance used and the severity of the disorder. Common symptoms can include:
- Increased tolerance to the substance
- Withdrawal symptoms when the substance is not used
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or control substance use
- Spending a lot of time obtaining, using, or recovering from the effects of the substance
- Continued use of the substance despite knowing it is causing physical or psychological problems
Causes[edit]
The exact cause of substance-related disorders is not known, but it is believed to be a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. Some people may be genetically predisposed to develop these disorders, while others may be influenced by their environment or personal circumstances.
Treatment[edit]
Treatment for substance-related disorders typically involves a combination of medication and psychotherapy. Medications can help to manage withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, and treat any co-occurring mental health conditions. Psychotherapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy or motivational interviewing, can help individuals to change their attitudes and behaviors related to substance use, increase healthy life skills, and adhere to their treatment plan.
