What Is Substance Use Disorder?

Substance Use Disorder is a diagnostic term used to describe a pattern of problematic substance use that significantly impairs a person’s daily functioning and overall well-being. It is characterized by a combination of behaviors, such as using larger amounts or over a longer period than intended, craving the substance, reduced control over use, continued use despite negative consequences, and neglecting important responsibilities and obligations. Substance Use Disorder can refer to the misuse of alcohol, illegal drugs, or prescription medications. It is a recognized mental health condition that often requires professional treatment and support to overcome or manage effectively.

Substance use can lead to addiction through a complex interplay of biological, psychological, and environmental factors. Initially, substance use may be voluntary and motivated by factors such as experimentation, curiosity, social pressure, or a desire for perceived benefits. However, with continued and excessive use, substance use can lead to an addiction also known as substance use disorder. Common signs of substance use disorder include:

  • Trouble sleeping
  • Nightmares
  • Erratic behavior
  • Drug cravings
  • Changes in appetite
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Self-isolation
  • Lack of interest
  • Changes in work or school performance
  • Mood swings
  • Changes in relationships
  • Financial problems
  • Changes in personal hygiene, diet, etc.

Despite common assumptions, most people living with substance use disorder maintain jobs, school, and family life. Over time, however, the effects of substance use disorder take a toll on mental, physical, and emotional health.

Substance Use Disorder Treatment Programs

At Live Oak Detox, we aim to provide substance disorder treatment for those struggling with addiction. Our programs include:

Medical Detoxification

Drug detoxification, commonly known as detox, is the process of removing toxic substances from the body. It is typically the first step in addiction treatment.  The duration and intensity of detoxification vary depending on the substance, individual factors, and the severity of the addiction. During detox, individuals may experience withdrawal symptoms as the body adjusts to the absence of the drug. Live Oak’s medical supervision and support are essential during this phase to manage withdrawal symptoms, monitor vital signs, address potential complications, and provide emotional support. Detox alone is not sufficient to achieve long-term recovery as it can be extremely unsafe and dangerous. Let our team work provide you support as your begin your recovery journey. It is crucial to continue with comprehensive addiction treatment following detoxification.

Residential Treatment

After completing detox, patients transition into our residential treatment program. The duration of residential treatment can vary depending on the individual’s needs and the program’s recommendations. Live Oak Detox provides a safe and supportive environment for individuals to focus on their recovery without distractions or temptations from the outside world. Residential treatment includes a combination of therapy, counseling, group sessions, skill-building activities, and medical support tailored to the specific needs of the individual. The goal is to address the underlying causes of addiction, develop healthy coping strategies, and provide necessary tools for long-term recovery. After completing residential treatment, individuals often transition to outpatient or aftercare programs for continued support and relapse prevention.
