Encino Substance Abuse Disorders

Types of Substance Abuse Disorders

Substance abuse disorders encompass a wide range of issues stemming from the use of alcohol, nicotine, fentanyl, marijuana, heroin, and more. Each substance contributes to addiction in distinct ways, affecting individuals physically, emotionally, and psychologically. At My Limitless Journeys, we recognize the urgency in addressing this spectrum of disorders with tailored treatment programs aimed at promoting recovery and wellness.

Signs and Symptoms of Substance Abuse Disorders

Recognizing the Issue: Key signs include a growing tolerance to the substance, withdrawal symptoms when not using, and a persistent desire to use despite understanding the negative consequences. Individuals may also find themselves neglecting responsibilities or relationships in favor of substance use.

Causes and Risk Factors for Substance Abuse Disorders

Substance abuse disorders can stem from a mix of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. Exposure to substances at an early age, a family history of addiction, mental health disorders, and traumatic experiences are among the notable risk factors. Understanding these can be crucial in both treatment and prevention.
