Addiction Disorders – Arizon Wellness

Q: What is an addiction (substance use) disorder?

A medical condition marked by loss of control over substance use or behaviors despite harmful consequences. It often involves cravings, tolerance, withdrawal, and continued use impacting health, relationships, and responsibilities.

Q: Do you offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT)?

Yes, when clinically appropriate we may use medications such as buprenorphine or naltrexone for opioid use disorder and naltrexone, acamprosate, or similar options for alcohol use disorder—combined with therapy and recovery support.

What Is an Addiction (Substance Use) Disorder?

Substance use disorders (SUDs) are medical conditions that affect the brain and behavior, leading to loss of control over use despite harm. They can involve alcohol, opioids, stimulants, cannabis, sedatives, nicotine, and others. Recovery is possible with the right plan—many people regain health, relationships, and purpose.

Common Substances & Signs

Alcohol: blackouts, morning use, repeated attempts to cut down
Opioids: tolerance, withdrawal (aches, GI symptoms), risky use
Stimulants (e.g., cocaine, meth): binges, sleep loss, irritability
Cannabis: motivation/memory issues, anxiety, heavy daily use
Sedatives: dependence, rebound anxiety/insomnia
Nicotine/Vaping: cravings, irritability, repeated relapses

Heads up — Cravings, tolerance, withdrawal, and continuing use despite harm are key red flags.

Contributing Factors & Risks

Genetics and family history
Stress, trauma, and co-occurring mental health conditions
Chronic pain or medical issues; access to substances
Social environment, stigma, and limited support

We take a whole-person approach that addresses medical, psychological, and social drivers of use.

Evaluation: How We Assess

Confidential clinical interview and standardized screening
Review of substance history, triggers, goals, and prior treatments
Medical and psychiatric review; labs or coordination with primary care as needed
Safety planning (overdose risk, withdrawal concerns, medications)

Assessment leads to a tailored plan that prioritizes safety and your recovery goals.
