What do Addiction, Substance Use Disorder, and Psychologists do?
Addiction is a chronic, relapsing brain disorder, substance use disorder (SUD) is the clinical term for addiction, and psychologists help individuals with SUDs through various evidence-based therapies, treatment planning, and addressing co-occurring mental health conditions.
Psychologists use their skills to help patients recognize triggers, develop coping mechanisms, address underlying issues, and prevent relapse.
Addiction and Substance Use Disorder (SUD)
Addiction is a complex and chronic relapsing brain disorder characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use despite harmful consequences.
Substance Use Disorder (SUD) is the clinical term for addiction, a complex mental health condition where substances change brain function, making it difficult to stop using them.
These conditions are often understood as biopsychosocial, meaning they involve biological, psychological, and social factors in their development.
SUD can occur alongside other mental health disorders, a situation called a co-occurring disorder or dual diagnosis.
What they do
Psychologists, particularly those with expertise in addiction, work with individuals and teams to treat SUDs in a variety of ways:
Support recovery: They help individuals develop coping strategies for stress, improve self-esteem, and manage cravings.
Assess and diagnose: They evaluate a client’s mental and physical health to assess their readiness for treatment and analyze the nature and extent of their problem.
Develop treatment plans: They develop and review treatment plans that are often individualized and may include strategies to prevent relapse.
Provide therapy: They use evidence-based therapies, such as:
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps patients recognize and change destructive thought patterns and behaviors, and manage triggers.
Motivational Interviewing: Uses structured conversations to increase motivation for change.
Contingency Management: Offers tangible incentives for clean drug tests to encourage recovery.
Supportive-expressive therapy: Encourages patients to address negative patterns in their relationships in a safe and supportive environment.
Conduct different types of therapy: This can include individual, group, and family therapy sessions to address issues related to the addiction and improve communication and support systems.
Address co-occurring disorders: They identify and treat other mental health conditions, like depression and anxiety, that may be present alongside the substance use disorder.
Bridge the gap: They can supervise and consult with other professionals, and develop programs that integrate substance use and mental health services.
