Over 20 million people in the United States struggle with a substance use disorder
Of the 20 million who struggle only a small percentage will get substance use treatment.1
Addiction is a complex disease that alters the brain, but if you or someone you know struggles with addiction, you understand that it is more than just a chemical dependency. Addiction can consume a person’s life, and although it can cause a variety of problems for them and their loved ones, they cannot stop.
At Vertava Health, we have various substance use treatment centers to help people and their loved ones find their way back from addiction and work toward building their best future.
Signs Someone Needs Addiction Care
Addiction can happen to anyone. What may start as recreational drug use, prescription drug misuse, or binge drinking, can quickly turn into addiction. Often the first step to recovery is realizing that someone needs help.
Common signs of addiction and substance use include:
- Taking drugs/drinking for longer than intended or in larger amounts
- Craving or urges to use the substance
- Prioritizing drugs or alcohol and neglecting responsibilities or loved ones
- Continuing to use the substance even after experiencing negative consequences
- Developing a tolerance to the substance
- Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when the effects of the substance wears off
Although someone may be exhibiting all these signs of addiction, many people do not get alcohol or drug addiction treatment because they are in denial or afraid to come forward. For some getting substance use disorder treatment requires a drug intervention or court-ordered rehab.
At Vertava Health, we understand that asking for help is a big step, but we are here to guide you and your loved ones throughout the recovery journey.
