Treatments for Substance Use Disorder
This chapter page explores various treatments for substance use disorder (SUD). Substance use disorder can have significant impacts on an individual's life, including physical and mental health, social relationships, and work or academic performance.
Asking for Resources
If you're concerned about your own potential substance misuse, you can talk to a healthcare professional or an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) counselor about treatment options. Remember, seeking help is a courageous and important step towards addressing substance misuse. Healthcare professionals and EAP counselors can provide guidance, support, and personalized treatment recommendations based on your specific needs and goals.
Treatment Options on the Continuum of Care
Discover a range of treatment options that form the continuum of care for substance use disorder.
Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHPs)
Clients live in their homes but come in for treatment for five to six hours a day, five days per week.
Inpatient or Residential Treatment
This treatment option includes more freedom than hospitalization, but the client lives at the treatment site for anywhere from a month to a year and receives 24-hour care.
Inpatient Hospitalization
Clients needing the highest level of care often spend time in the hospital supervised by a team of doctors and/or specialists.
What is Continuum of Care?
Continuum of Care
Continuum of Care is a term used to describe an integrated network of services to support individuals and families with complex needs. It is a comprehensive system of care that includes multiple levels of care, from prevention and early intervention to acute care, to long-term care and support services, and includes physical, mental, and behavioral health care, as well as social services.
Harm Reduction
Harm reduction essentially "meets people where they are" in their substance use and works with people without judgment or coercion, and without requiring them to quit using substances. Research shows that harm reduction is highly effective at preventing death, disease, injury, overdose, and substance misuse.
