Substance Use Disorders & Healing at SOS Wellness

Substance use disorders (SUDs) affect the mind, body, and relationships—often co-occurring with mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, or trauma. At SOS Wellness, we provide compassionate, evidence-based care to help individuals break free from addiction and reclaim their lives.

What Is a Substance Use Disorder?

SUD occurs when the use of alcohol, drugs, or medications becomes harmful and difficult to control, despite negative consequences. It can involve:

Alcohol
Prescription drugs
Illicit drugs (e.g., heroin, cocaine, meth)
Over-the-counter medications (when misused)

Common signs: cravings, withdrawal, mood changes, increased tolerance, and impact on daily responsibilities.

Dual Diagnosis & Aftercare

Many facing addiction also struggle with mental health disorders. Our integrated approach treats both, improving recovery outcomes.

We also provide aftercare and relapse prevention planning, ensuring continued support beyond treatment.

You’re not alone. SOS Wellness is here to help you take back control—with dignity, support, and lasting change.
