TREATMENT FOR
ADDICTION
KETAMINE FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE
Drug addiction, also called substance use disorder, is a disease that affects a person's brain and behavior and leads to an inability to control the use of a legal or illegal drug or medication. Substances - such as alcohol, marijuana and nicotine - are also considered 'drugs'. Substance abuse is a brain disease that causes uncontrollable and irresistible urges to seek out and use drugs or alcohol, even when those behaviors have a negative effect.
​
if you feel like you’re dependent on a substance or that you don’t have any control over your use of drugs or alcohol, it’s time to ask for help.
