What is Substance Use Disorder?

Wondering what substance use disorder (SUD) really means? You’re not alone. SUD is a medical condition where the recurrent use of alcohol or drugs causes significant health issues or problems at work, school, or home. It goes beyond just occasional use—it’s when substance use starts to interfere with your everyday life, and stopping on your own feels impossible.

At A&E Healthcare Services Inc., we believe in meeting you where you are. Whether you’re just starting to recognize the signs or you’ve been struggling for years, we offer a judgment-free space to begin your path to healing. For those who have encountered legal challenges related to substance use, such as driving under the influence, we also provide a structured DUI program in Baltimore, Maryland, that supports both court requirements and personal recovery goals.

How Can Substance Use Disorder Affect You?

You might be asking, “How does substance use disorder really impact my life?” Here are five ways it can affect your overall well-being:

  • Physical Health Decline

    Constant substance use can damage vital organs, weaken your immune system, and increase the risk of chronic illnesses.

  • Mental and Emotional Strain

    Anxiety, depression, and mood swings often accompany SUD, making daily life overwhelming.

  • Relationship Challenges

    Addiction can strain or break important personal connections, leading to isolation or conflict with loved ones.

  • Financial Stress

    The cost of maintaining a habit, combined with potential job loss or decreased productivity, can create long-term financial trouble.

  • Legal and Social Consequences

    Issues such as DUIs, arrests, or losing custody of children can arise when substance use goes unchecked.
