What are SUDs?
Per the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), SUDs are complex, chronic, treatable conditions that affect a person’s brain and behavior. Furthermore, the American Psychological Association (APA) lists nine classes of commonly abused drugs:
- Alcohol
- Amphetamines, including meth
- Cannabis
- Cocaine
- Hallucinogens, like LSD
- Inhalants, like nitrites
- Opioids, like fentanyl or heroin
- Phencyclidine, or PCP
- Prescription Medication
- Sedatives, like benzodiazepines
Any one of these substances can become addictive—and, as your body builds tolerance to it, an overdose can prove fatal. But there’s good news: You can recover from a drug addiction. You can repair damaged relationships, revive professional opportunities, and reclaim your life. Our San Diego addiction treatment center has helped hundreds of individuals do the same.

Frequently Asked Questions About Drug Addiction Treatment
SUDs are a disease, and adequate treatment can more effectively help you beat them. If you notice yourself craving to use; experience withdrawal symptoms when you try to quit; or have damaged personal and professional relationships as a result of your addiction, then it’s time to get help.
A quality San Diego drug treatment center—and any reputable facility around the country—implements holistic, evidence-based therapies. It tweaks those methodologies to meet their patients’ needs, and reaffirms the worth inherent in each of their charges. Empathy matters; you should feel as welcome and comfortable as possible.
Dual diagnosis outpatient care helps patients build on the work done during recovery. By working daily with licensed professionals, they hold themselves accountable while receiving any support they need and developing the skills necessary to stay sober in the long run. Additionally, outpatient programs have a unique benefit: Patients can head home each night to spend time with family.
Family, friends, and other positive influences are vital to successful recovery—as are counselors, therapists, and medical professionals. Apex Recovery brings the former and latter together, creating a robust support network that can help you during and after treatment.
