Substance Use Disorder (SUD) is a medical condition defined by a range of cognitive, behavioral, and physiological symptoms indicating continued use of a substance despite facing significant problems. It is often misunderstood, with many believing it pertains only to illegal drugs, while it can also involve legal substances like alcohol and prescription medications across a spectrum of severity. Recognizing the diagnostic criteria, as outlined in the DSM-5, is essential for understanding and addressing SUD in both recovery contexts and public health discussions.
