Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Treatment

Break The Cycle Foundation offers compassionate, evidence-based treatment to help individuals overcome addiction and reclaim life.

Understanding Substance Use Disorder

Substance Use Disorder is a medical condition that affects brain function and behavior, making it difficult for individuals to control their use of substances such as alcohol, opioids, stimulants, and prescription drugs. Left untreated, SUD can lead to severe health complications, strained relationships, and diminished quality of life.

Signs and Symptoms of SUD

Intense cravings and compulsive substance use

Inability to stop using despite negative consequences

Increased tolerance requiring higher doses

Withdrawal symptoms when attempting to quit

Neglect of personal and professional responsibilities

Strained relationships with family, friends, and coworkers

Recognizing these signs is the first step toward seeking help. With the right treatment and support, recovery is possible.

Evidence-Based Treatment for Substance Use Disorder

At Break The Cycle Foundation, we utilize scientifically backed, evidence-based treatment methods to ensure the highest success rates for recovery. Our approach is tailored to each individual, focusing on medical, psychological, and social support.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

Medications like methadone can help ease withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, and prevent relapse.

Individual & Group Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed therapy, and relapse prevention strategies help address underlying psychological factors.

Personalized Treatment Plans

Every individual receives a customized recovery plan designed to address their specific needs and goals.

Holistic Healing

Incorporating mindfulness, wellness education, and life skills training to ensure long-term success.

Relapse Prevention & Aftercare

Continued support, counseling, and resources to help individuals maintain sobriety.

What the Research Says

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) reports that combining medication with therapy significantly improves long-term recovery outcomes.

A study published in JAMA Psychiatry found that integrated treatment approaches lead to lower relapse rates and higher overall well-being.

A 2022 research review in The Lancet confirms that MAT combined with behavioral therapy is the gold standard for substance use treatment.
