Substance Use & Addiction
Addiction is a very common coping mechanism and often represents a symptom of other unmanaged mental health disorders. Addiction affects individuals from all walks of life and can have significant impacts on work, relationships, physical health, and self-image. Due to social stigma and challenges accessing effective treatment, many individuals suffer through their addiction alone.
