Let's talk about
Substance Misuse
Substance misuse involves the excessive or harmful use of drugs, alcohol, or other substances that negatively impact physical health, relationships, and daily life. It can develop gradually and often serves as a way to cope with stress, trauma, or emotional pain. While substance misuse can feel difficult to break free from, recovery is possible with the right support.
Key characteristics of substance misuse include:
Using substances to cope with stress, emotions, or daily struggles.
Difficulty controlling or reducing substance use.
Physical withdrawal symptoms when not using.
Negative impact on relationships, work, or personal responsibilities.
With the right support, substance misuse therapy can help individuals understand their behaviours and build healthier coping strategies.
WHAT DOES SUBSTANCE MISUSE FEEL LIKE?
Substance misuse can feel like being trapped in a cycle of dependency, where cravings and emotional struggles make it difficult to stop. Many people describe relying on substances to cope with stress, numb emotions, or escape from daily pressures.
The experience of substance misuse may include:
Feeling unable to function without drugs or alcohol.
Using substances as a way to manage emotional pain.
Experiencing cravings or withdrawal symptoms.
Feeling guilty or ashamed about substance use but struggling to stop.
While substance misuse can feel overwhelming, recovery is possible with the right support and treatment.
