What is Drug Use Disorder?
Substance use disorder is a disease that affects a person's brain and behavior, leading to an inability to control the use of legal or illegal drugs or medications. Substances like alcohol, marijuana, and nicotine are also considered drugs.
Typical Symptoms of Drug Use Disorder
- History of using narcotics or illegal drugs
- Thinking about stopping or cutting down on drug use
- Feelings of guilt or regret regarding drug use
- Have experienced withdrawal symptoms like anxiety, discomfort or tremors
- Use of drugs has caused memory loss or flashbacks
- Job or family relationships have been strained or affected by the use of drugs
- Still using drugs despite suffering physical or mental side-effects
- Unable to go without drugs for more than a week
Diagnostic Questions for Drug Use Disorder
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Have you ever used stimulants, narcotics, or other illegal drugs before?
- Have you considered reducing drug use?
- Do you feel guilty or regretful about using drugs?
- Have you ever experienced withdrawal symptoms from drug use?
- Have you experienced amnesia, black-outs, or flashbacks due to drug use?
Treatment of Drug Use Disorder
Management of substance use disorder includes detoxification, behavioral therapy, and self-help groups. The goal of detoxification, also called "detox" or withdrawal therapy, is to stop the addictive drug as quickly and safely as possible.
