What is Substance Use Disorder?

Substance Use Disorder (SUD) is a chronic, relapsing condition in which individuals experience an uncontrollable urge to use alcohol or drugs despite harmful consequences. It alters brain function, affecting judgment, self-control, and behavior. Over time, this can lead to dependence, health complications, and emotional distress.

At PotterMind Psychiatry, we view addiction as a treatable medical condition, not a moral failure. Our approach focuses on healing the whole person—addressing both the psychological and physical aspects of addiction through compassionate, professional, and structured care. With guidance from our board-certified psychiatrists and addiction specialists, you can take back control of your life and restore balance.

Symptoms of Substance Use Disorder

The symptoms of substance use disorder vary from person to person, but often include a combination of physical, emotional, and behavioral signs. Recognizing these warning signs early allows for timely intervention and improved recovery outcomes.

  • Cravings or strong urges to use substances regularly
  • Withdrawal symptoms when the substance isn’t available
  • Neglecting personal hygiene, health, or relationships
  • Loss of interest in work, hobbies, or family activities
  • Developing tolerance and needing higher doses
  • Engaging in risky behaviors while under the influence
  • Mood swings, irritability, depression, or anxiety
  • Secretive behavior or lying about usage

Substance Use Disorder can impact anyone regardless of age, gender, or background. The sooner professional help is sought, the better the chance for recovery and long-term stability.

How to Treat Substance Use Disorder

Effective treatment for addiction requires a comprehensive approach that includes medical management, therapy, and family involvement. At PotterMind Psychiatry, we provide customized treatment plans that help patients detox safely, manage cravings, and develop healthy coping mechanisms for lifelong recovery.

1. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

MAT uses FDA-approved medications in combination with therapy to relieve withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings. These medications help patients stabilize and focus on rebuilding their health and relationships.

  • Suboxone® (Buprenorphine/Naloxone): Reduces cravings and prevents relapse for opioid addiction.
  • Subutex® (Buprenorphine): Supports safe detox and gradual recovery.
  • Brixadi®: A long-acting injectable option for consistent and controlled recovery.
  • Vivitrol® (Naltrexone): Blocks the effects of opioids and alcohol, reducing relapse risk.

2. Behavioral Therapy

Behavioral therapy helps individuals identify emotional triggers and develop strategies to maintain sobriety. Our trained therapists use evidence-based methods that foster resilience and accountability.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Reframes negative thought patterns and promotes healthier habits.
  • Motivational Interviewing (MI): Encourages self-driven motivation to change addictive behaviors.
  • Relapse Prevention Planning: Provides strategies to avoid triggers and maintain sobriety.
  • Family Therapy and Education: Strengthens communication and understanding among loved ones.

3. Patient Education and Long-Term Support

Education plays a vital role in sustaining recovery. We help patients and their families understand how addiction affects the brain and body, teaching them how to manage stress, identify relapse warning signs, and build supportive environments for continued wellness.

Through ongoing counseling, follow-ups, and encouragement, our patients gain the tools and confidence they need to lead fulfilling, substance-free lives.
