Substance Use Disorders

Understanding Substance Use Disorders and its Treatment

Substance use disorders (SUDs) occur when the recurrent use of alcohol or drugs leads to significant impairment in daily life. This condition often involves a cycle of cravings, increased tolerance, and inability to control the use of the substance despite the harmful effects it causes. SUDs can affect anyone, regardless of age or background, and require professional intervention to treat effectively.

At Iraiva Foundation, we specialize in providing comprehensive care for individuals suffering from substance use disorders. Our treatment approach focuses on understanding the individual's unique needs, addressing both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction, and helping them reclaim control over their lives.

Our treatment for substance use disorders includes a combination of the following methods:

  • Medical detoxification to help manage withdrawal symptoms safely and comfortably.
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help individuals recognize and change destructive thought patterns related to substance use.
  • Individual and group counseling to address the emotional and social factors contributing to substance use.
  • Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for certain substance use disorders, to aid in recovery and reduce cravings.
  • Comprehensive aftercare and relapse prevention planning to support long-term recovery.
