Substance use disorder is a long lasting disease where a person feels a strong need to use drugs even when it causes harm. People with this disorder often have trouble stopping their use, even when they know it is hurting their health, relationships, or daily life. This disorder is complex and can be caused by genetics, the environment, and social factors. There is no cure, but it can be treated with medication and therapy.
