March 21, 2023
Definition:
Having an addiction or a substance use disorder is not the same as having a drink on a Friday night
Addiction refers to the problematic use of a substance. The harms of substance use can range from mild (e.g., feeling hungover, being late for work) to severe (e.g., homelessness, disease). Treatment options for addiction include self-help, counselling, medications and withdrawal management.
