It takes more compassion than criticism to support someone battling alcohol use disorder.

Judgement and guilt don’t heal people - understanding, empathy, and respect make it easier for them to seek help.

Reminding someone of their worth, rather than shaming their past, can open space for healing and hope.

We all deserve patience and kindness along the road to recovery.

When ADHD and substance use disorder intersect, it creates a complex feedback loop that can undermine recovery and make symptoms harder to distinguish.

Untreated ADHD may significantly raise the risk of relapse and derail engagement in addiction treatment.

Approaching both conditions with integrated care - combining medication, therapy, and psychoeducation - is far more effective than treating them separately.

This layered strategy acknowledges how deeply intertwined these challenges are and supports more sustained recovery.

The latest research shows that while overall teen substance use has dropped to its lowest levels in decades, overdose deaths among adolescents have alarmingly risen - mostly due to counterfeit pills laced with fentanyl.

CDC and other data sources point to new risks for teens, even as the landscape of drugs, ni****ne alternatives, and cannabis products changes quickly.

Understanding these shifts can help families have more informed conversations, spot warning signs early, and focus on prevention rather than reaction.

Most patients want their doctors to ask about substance use, but not everyone feels equally at ease with the conversation.

A recent study found that while 90% of adults supported substance-use screening in primary care, comfort levels differed by age and race, with Black, Hispanic, and middle-aged patients showing more hesitation.

Trust and transparency play a major role in whether people feel safe sharing this information.

Building stronger patient relationships starts with listening, empathy, and clear communication about how personal health data will be used.
