What is substance use disorder?
What are the symptoms of a substance use disorder?
Substance use disorder symptoms include:
- Taking a substance in large amounts over extended periods
- Difficulty fulfilling professional or personal responsibilities
- Continuing substance use despite mental or physical health problems
- Using substances regularly, even when they put you in danger
- Giving up activities you love to use
- Developing tolerance and needing to use more of the substance to get a high
Depending on the substance you use, you might experience symptoms of withdrawal. For example, alcohol dependence can cause anxiety, heart palpitations, and headaches.
How is a substance use disorder diagnosed?
There isn’t a specific test used to diagnose a substance use disorder. Instead, your Whole Men's Health provider reviews your health records, asks about your drug or alcohol use and lifestyle, and completes a physical exam.
They also order lab tests, including urinalysis and blood work, and have you fill out a questionnaire. If your responses align with the criteria for an SUD as outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), you have a substance use disorder.
