Substance Use Disorder

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Substance use disorder is a pattern of use leading to impairment or distress, marked by loss of control, continued use despite harm, and craving.

Show

A person continues using after job loss and repeated unsuccessful attempts to stop.

Watch for

Tolerance and withdrawal alone do not establish the diagnosis. Loss of control and continued use despite harm are central.
