We know how hard it might be to make the first step on the way to recovery at Orlando Treatment Solutions.
If you or someone you love is battling an alcohol, prescription drug or illicit substance addiction, our team of caring professionals will help you navigate a personal journey toward recovery.
What is Substance Use Disorder?
Substance use disorder is a long-term health condition that consists of uncontrolled consumption of drugs or alcohol even after experiencing adverse effects. It may be mild or severe and frequently accompanies such mental conditions as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder. When left untreated, SUD might result in long-term health problems, damaged relationships, and diminished quality of life.
SUD is neither a weakness of will nor a moral defect. It is a long-term brain disorder that changes the neural pathways in the brain, and hence recovery is not an easy process and usually needs medical, psychological and in many cases emotional support. The good news is that through appropriate treatment and regular care, addicts can get better and develop meaningful lives in recovery.
What are the Types of Substance Use Disorder?
Substance Use Disorder may relate to the misuse of a tremendous number of substances. All of these forms have their peculiar difficulties and dangers, yet all of them can grievously affect the well-being of an individual and his/her ability to perform everyday activities. The most widespread kinds of SUD are:
1. Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)
One of the most common types of Substance Use Disorder is Alcohol Use Disorder. It is the excessive consumption of alcohol to the extent that it affects responsibilities, relationships as well as health. People will still drink even with the knowledge of the destructive effects of drinking.
2. Opioid Use Disorder
The said type entails the abuse of prescription pain relievers (i.e. oxycodone, hydrocodone, and morphine) or illicit opioids like heroin. Opioids are very addictive and there is a great chance of overdosing; thus, professional treatment is important.
3. Stimulant Use Disorder
Includes the non-medical use of cocaine, methamphetamine, or prescription ADHD drugs (e.g., Adderall). These drugs make a person feel more alert and energetic and may cause serious psychological problems and heart disorders.
4. Cannabis Use Disorder
Chronic and compulsive cannabis use has been considered less harmful, although it may affect memory, learning, and motivation, mainly in early adulthood and adults.
5. Hallucinogen Use Disorder
Less commonly, this form includes such drugs as LSD, PCP, and psilocybin. These are the drugs that may induce a change in perception and produce long-term psychological consequences.
6. Inhalant Use Disorder
Usually entails the use of substances inhaled due to their psychoactive properties, including glue, paint thinners, or nitrous oxide. Inhalants may produce cardiac arrest or neurological impairment that is irreversible.

Behavioral Symptoms
- High desire to consume the substance
- Failure to limit or cut down use.
- Failure to perform duties at work, school, or in the family.
- Consumption in dangerous circumstances (e.g., driving)
- Use even when there are physical or psychological problems
Physical Symptoms

Psychological Symptoms

A mixture of biological, psychological, and social issues often causes Substance Use Disorder. It is imperative to know these underlying causes in order to treat them.
Contact UsWhat are the Risk Factors for a Substance Use Disorder?
SUD can develop in any person, although some factors can contribute to susceptibility. These include:
- Family History and Genetics
The presence of addiction in the family history increases the chances of SUD development considerably. Genetically, heredity factors may be playing a role in about half of the likelihood of a person developing the disorder.
- Mental Health Conditions
Patients who have a record of ailments like depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder become prone to substance abuse as a form of self-medication.
- Stress and Traumatic Experiences in Early Life
Childhood experiences that include abuse, neglect, or dysfunction in the household all raise the risk of substance use in the future.
- Environmental Influences
It is caused by peer pressure, observing drug use, parental negligence, and easy access to substances, which contribute to the development of SUD.
- Age of First Use
The sooner a person starts to use substances, the more likely it is that he or she will develop a chronic disorder.
- Long-term Pain or Health Conditions
People who live with pain can abuse prescription drugs, mainly opioids, and become addicted.
Being aware of these risk factors might assist in early intervention and facilitate the prevention strategies.
Our Approach to Substance Use Treatment
At Orlando Treatment Solutions, we consider that a person should not be treated by symptoms only. We are a multidisciplinary team of licensed clinicians, therapists, and addiction specialists who provide a holistic treatment approach and address the physical, mental and emotional components of recovery.
Our substance use treatment includes:
Comprehensive Assessment & Personalized Treatment Plans
An initial assessment is done on all clients to enable us to know their specific needs and problems. We develop personalized treatment programs that suit the recovery objectives of each individual.
Medical Detox Referrals
In case it is necessary to go through the detox process safely, we refer our clients to our trusted local detox centers before starting the outpatient treatment.
Evidence-Based Therapies
We utilize proven treatment modalities such as:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Dual Diagnosis Support
A large number of individuals who are victims of addiction also experience co-morbid mental health challenges. Our dual diagnosis program allows us to make sure that the two problems are addressed at the same time to allow long-term recovery.
Family Involvement and Education
Addiction is a family disease. We provide family therapy and education to regain trust and analyze communication.
Relapse Prevention Planning
Our crew assists our clients in recognizing triggers, constructing healthful coping methods, and establishing a solid aftercare program aimed at upholding sobriety.
Levels of Care We Offer
Maybe you are newly recovering or stepping down or downgrading your level of care, either way we have flexible outpatient options:
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Day-long, structured care that includes medical and therapeutic assistance is ideal for individuals who require intensive treatment but do not necessarily need 24/7 inpatient care.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Our IOP is a step below PHP and enables clients to continue working, attending school or fulfilling family obligations as they receive therapy.
Outpatient Program (OP)
It is perfect when a person requires further assistance after discharge of more intensive care.
