Drug use is a coping mechanism. Main reasons for developing a substance use disorder (trauma, pain, loneliness, social shunning, low self-esteem, etc.)
Substance use disorder is a chronic illness that can be treated, which makes people with substance use disorders as entitled to health care and social services as all other patients.
When helping people with substance use disorders, it has to be recognized that there are no universal solutions. As there are many varying reasons to why people start using drugs, the solutions need to be various, too. Because of that, many approaches and methods are implemented in the treatment and rehabilitation of people with substance use disorders. Age-, gender- and culture-specific peculiarities of the people needing help, as well as their family, social circumstances and overall state of health need to be taken into consideration.
Drug use is often accompanied by a host of problems, including legal issues and debts. If that’s the case, we definitely recommend seeking help. We are ready to provide advice regarding possibilities of acquiring free legal help and social services, as well as health care services to people with no medical insurance.
