Alcohol or Substance Use Disorder is a psychiatric disorder characterized by the misuse or addiction to alcohol or other substances. Addiction manifests with regular and uncontrollable use of the substance, which can negatively impact a person's work, school, or relationships. Therapy plays a crucial role in addressing such addictions. The therapist conducts a detailed assessment to understand the individual's alcohol or substance use and determines the level of addiction. During therapy, individuals are taught to recognize the negative consequences of addiction, identify triggers and cravings, and learn coping skills. Additionally, support is provided to make positive changes in the individual's life and establish a healthy lifestyle. Therapy helps the individual develop coping strategies to deal with substance use and addresses the underlying psychological and social causes of addiction.
