Substance Use Disorder and Recovery Services
What is a Substance Use Disorder (SUD)?
Substance Use Disorders occur when the recurrent use of alcohol and/or drugs causes significant impairment, including health problems, disability, and failure to meet major responsibilities at work, school, or home.
Spotting signs in a family member or friend
A person with a SUD would have changes in appetite or sleep patterns, deterioration of physical appearance, decline of grooming habits, sudden weight loss or weight gain, tremors, slurred speech, or impaired coordination.
Recovery and Support Is Available
If you suspect a family member or friend might have a problem with substance use, speak to them about getting help. Treatment can be arranged in different modalities to fit almost any schedule. Counselors will work with you and your family member/friend to design a treatment plan that works with you.
When you’re ready, you or your family member/friend can call (800) 968-2636 to reach our Substance Use Disorder Helpline, 24-hours of the day for a free and confidential assessment.
