Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) are treatable, chronic diseases characterized by a problematic pattern of use of a substance or substances leading to impairments in health, social function, and control over substance use. It is a cluster of cognitive, behavioral, and physiological symptoms indicating that the individual continues using the substance despite harmful consequences. Patterns of symptoms resulting from substance use (drugs or alcohol) can help a doctor diagnose a person with a SUD or SUDs. SUDs can range in severity from mild to severe and can affect people of any race, gender, income level, or social class. (CDC)



Mental Health 
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices.1 Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. (CDC).

Narcan/Nalaxone
Naloxone is a life-saving medication that can reverse an overdose from opioids—including heroin, fentanyl, and prescription opioid medications—when given in time. Naloxone is easy to use and small to carry. There are two forms of naloxone that anyone can use without medical training or authorization: prefilled nasal spray and injectable.(CDC)

Treatment and Recovery 
While treatment and recovery go hand in hand, they are not the same thing. Treatment refers to the overall addiction recovery process. This includes detox, inpatient or outpatient programs, therapy and various treatments that are part of those programs. Recovery, though, encompasses every aspect of your life while you get and then continue to remain clean and sober. Essentially recovery is the life-long process of sobriety.
