A substance use disorder, commonly known as a drug or alcohol addiction, is defined as the inability to control the urge to use any illegal or legal drug to the point that it affects multiple aspects of an individual’s life.
Commonly abused substances include alcohol, nicotine, opioids, cocaine, amphetamines, heroin, and marijuana.
Addiction can change the way an individual behaves, thinks, and reacts to situations and can have a drastic impact on the individual’s family and loved ones.

Substance use disorders and mental health disorders go hand-in-hand. When an individual is diagnosed with both they are known to have a co-occurring disorder, once known as dual diagnosis.
Often, individuals will admit into a treatment center for a substance use addiction and will soon after be diagnosed with an underlying mental health disorder.
Addiction usually develops as a poor coping mechanism to deal with the underlying mental health disorder or vice versa. Therefore, a substance use disorder can lead to a mental health disorder, and a mental health disorder can lead to a substance use disorder. It is essential to identify and treat both disorders simultaneously; otherwise, if one disorder is left untreated, the individual is at high risk for relapse.
