Learn Essential Information About Substance Use Disorder
We're here to educate our patients on what they need to know
You may not know much about what substance use disorder is or how to deal with it, but Meridian Advanced Psychiatry is here to help. We evaluate and treat individuals with substance use disorder at all of our mental health clinics.
When it comes to substance use disorder, it's important to know the numbers. For instance, did you know that...
- 22% of men and 17% of women used illegal substances or misused prescription substances within the last year?
- 10.2% of Americans aged 12 and older had alcohol use disorder in 2020?
- 5.9 million Americans misused sedatives or tranquilizers in the last year?
What are the signs of substance use disorder?
It can be hard to identify when the safe use of alcohol and prescription drugs turns into a disorder. You should make an appointment to see our mental health providers if you're experiencing...
- Mood swings and outbursts
- Changes in personality
- Periods of unusual hyperactivity
- Lack of motivation
Your journey to recovery starts here
