What Is Substance Abuse?

Substance abuse is a pattern of misuse or overuse of illegal and legal addictive substances. Substances can include marijuana, alcohol, prescription medication, heroin, opiates, cocaine and methamphetamine. People suffering from substance abuse can become addicted to any of these drugs or several.

Many medical professionals will also refer to the term “substance dependence.” When your tolerance increases, you can develop a dependence and need more to achieve the same “high.” Substance dependence is dangerous and can make people feel helpless. We provide a way out through substance abuse treatment programs.

Common Causes and Risk Factors of Substance Abuse

Some people are at risk of substance abuse depending on their environment, while others may have learned to normalize addiction through their upbringing. There is no one cause of substance abuse, but there are many things we can identify as common risk factors. The following are a few examples:

• Genetics: Scientists are still learning about the connection between genetics and addiction, but we know that there is one. Your genetic relationship to someone with addiction may affect your brain’s response to substances and increase your risk.

• Social or environmental pressure: Your environment determines how you see the world and develop your behaviors. If you grew up in an area with normalized substance abuse, you might be more likely to develop an addiction.

• Personality or disposition: We often hear people discuss “addictive personalities.” Though there is no universal characteristic of addiction, some people willing to engage in risky behaviors may struggle to find their way out.

• Psychiatric issues: People with mood disorders may begin self-medicating with drugs or alcohol and become addicted. Mental illnesses like anxiety or depression are risk factors for this reason, although they are not guaranteed causes.

Signs of Substance Abuse

Signs and symptoms of abuse will differ per person. If you notice any of the following signs in yourself or a loved one, you may want to find a substance abuse treatment center near you or discuss rehab:

• Spending a substantial amount of time obtaining or using the substance
• Using or drinking a high quantity of substances at once
• Strong cravings for drugs or alcohol
• Taking time away from work, school or family to use
• Physical conditions like weight loss, fatigue or red eyes
• Creating a high tolerance and needing more to achieve the same high
• Experiencing withdrawal or finding it hard to cut back on use

Substance Withdrawal Symptoms

Withdrawal is a combination of physical and mental reactions to your detox, and it feels different for everyone. Many factors can change how you feel throughout the withdrawal process. For some, withdrawal is just as dangerous as addiction, so it’s essential to have a team of medical professionals to support you.

These are some common symptoms of substance withdrawal:

• Insomnia
• Anxiety
• Sweating
• Nausea
• Hallucinations
• Flu symptoms
• Depressed feelings
• Fever
• High blood pressure
• Attempts to cut back or stop drinking have failed

How to Begin Substance Abuse Recovery

The first step to treating addiction is admitting you need help. Through our substance abuse treatment facility, you can address your addiction head-on. With your admission, you can begin to feel happier and healthier as you sober up. At DreamLife Recovery, your inpatient substance abuse treatment is tailored to your needs.

Our substance abuse rehab facility focuses on solutions for patients trying to take back control of their lives. We create treatment plans for every patient, each facilitated by our welcoming medical staff. We provide substance abuse help so you can begin to live your life free of addiction.

For most patients, substance abuse rehab will follow a similar format:

• Detox: Detoxification is important in clearing your mind and body before treatment. Our team monitors your progress as you detox and helps to alleviate any pain when possible. Some patients may need Medication-Assisted Treatment to help them through this process.
• Rehab: Rehab will include substance abuse recovery programs like individualized therapy, group counseling or family therapy. You can begin to see and feel results with access to our amenities, doctors and support system.
• Discharge planning: Before your substance abuse treatment program has finished, we help you prepare for your transition back home. Patients will leave our facility with the tools they need to succeed throughout their life.
• Aftercare: After treatment, you will begin rebuilding healthy habits and learning new ways to address personal challenges. Our aftercare planning prepares patients with the network of counselors and support groups they need. Maintaining your sober life may not be easy, but we make sure you’re not alone in the process.
