Substance Use Addiction Disorder Treatment in Glen Burnie, MD
Understanding Substance Use Disorder (SUD)
Substance use disorder (SUD) is a medical condition that affects the brain and behavior, leading to an inability to control the use of drugs or alcohol. Recovery is possible with the right treatment and support. At MedHaven Health in Glen Burnie, we provide evidence‑based substance use disorder treatment designed to meet each patient’s individual needs.
Why Treatment Matters
Untreated SUD can impact physical health, mental wellness, family relationships, and career stability. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), patients who receive structured treatment combined with counseling are more likely to achieve long‑term recovery.
