Understanding ADDICTION
Addiction, or Substance Use Disorder (SUD), is a complex brain condition characterized by uncontrollable substance use or engagement in certain behaviors despite harmful consequences. Addiction can significantly impact not only the individual but also their families and communities.

Neglecting responsibilities at work, school, or home.
Continued use despite knowing it causes harm.
Loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities.
Physical Symptoms:
Withdrawal symptoms when attempting to stop.
Tolerance, requiring increasing amounts of the substance or behavior to achieve the same effect.
Changes in sleep, appetite, or energy levels.
Emotional Symptoms:
Mood swings, irritability, or depression.
Anxiety related to substance use or access.
Guilt or shame about the addiction.
THE IMPACT of ADDICTION
How Common Is It?
Nearly 21 million Americans suffer from at least one addiction, yet only 10% receive treatment.
Over 70,000 deaths annually in the U.S. are attributed to drug overdoses, making it a leading cause of preventable death.
Effects on Families:
Strained relationships due to trust issues or unmet responsibilities.
Emotional distress, including anger, sadness, or helplessness.
Financial strain from addiction-related expenses or loss of income.
Risk of enabling behaviors or co-dependency patterns.
