Could This Be You?
One of the most important signs of substance addiction or dependence is the continued use of drugs or alcohol despite experiencing negative consequences. Often, a person will blame other people or circumstances for his or her problems instead of realizing that the difficulties result from the use of drugs or alcohol. Signs and symptoms of drug use or intoxication may vary, depending on the type of drug.
Drug addiction symptoms or behaviors include, among others:
◊ An obsession to use a substance
◊ Unable to stop using the substance
◊ Constant state of denial
◊ Unable to accept responsibility for any actions (good or bad)
◊ Over time, needing more of the substance to get the same effect
◊ Taking larger amounts of the substance over a longer period of time
◊ Having to maintain a supply of the substance
◊ Spending money on the substance, even though you can’t afford it
◊ Not meeting obligations & responsibilities, or cutting back on social or recreational activities
◊ Continuing to use, even when it causes problems or causes physical or psychological harm
◊ Doing things to get the substance that you normally wouldn’t do, such as stealing
◊ Driving or doing other risky activities when you’re under the influence
◊ Experiencing withdrawal symptoms
WHAT IS SUBSTANCE ABUSE?
Alcoholism & drug dependence (addiction), known as substance use disorder, have complex problems. People with these disorders once were thought to have a character defect or moral failing. Scientists & medical researchers now consider dependence on alcohol or drugs to be a chronic disease, characterized by drug seeking & use that is compulsive, or difficult to control, despite harmful consequences.
Repeated drug use can lead to brain changes that challenge an addicted person’s self-control and interfere with their ability to resist intense urges to take drugs. These brain changes can be persistent, which is why drug addiction is considered a “relapsing” disease — people in recovery from substance use disorder are at an increased risk of relapsing despite years of not sobriety. (National Institute on Drug Abuse)

Substance abuse treatment may be provided in a person’s catchment area (with financial criteria requirements).
Who Provides Treatment?
Many different kinds of professionals provide treatment for substance use disorders. In most treatment programs, the main caregivers are specially trained individuals certified or licensed as substance abuse treatment counselors. About half these counselors are people who are in recovery themselves. Many programs have staff from several different ethnic or cultural groups. Most treatment programs assign patients to a treatment team of professionals. Depending on the type of treatment, teams can be made up of social workers, counselors, doctors, nurses, psychologists, psychiatrists, or other professionals. Learn about the different kinds of treatments and services that are effective in helping people with substance use disorders.
The treatment system for substance use disorder is comprised of multiple service components, including the following:
♥ Individual & group counseling
♥ Inpatient & residential treatment
♥ Intensive outpatient treatment
♥ Partial hospital programs
♥ Case or care management
♥ Medication
♥ Recovery support, Peer support
♥ 12-Step fellowship
A person accessing treatment may not need to access every one of these components, but each plays an important role. These systems are embedded in a broader community and the support provided by various parts of that community also play an important role in supporting the recovery of people with substance use disorders.

UAMS - Center for Addiction Services and Treatment
The Psychiatric Research Institute’s Center for Addiction Services and Treatment (CAST) relies on buprenorphine as well as individual and group therapy sessions to treat opioid addiction. No clients who have a history of severe mental illness or recent suicide attempts will be accepted into the program. Clients should also not require any medications that cannot be effectively monitored on an outpatient basis. An outside support system – family, friends, work environment – for the client should be in place before enrolling in the program. All clients must be 18 or older and able to meet the required time and financial commitments. Clients who are pregnant may want to contact the Women’s Mental Health Program to discuss treatment options.
Buprenorphine is used to treat addiction to opioid drugs, including heroin and narcotic painkillers. Buprenorphine is in a class of medications called opioid partial agonists, and can prevent withdrawal symptoms when someone stops taking opioids by producing similar effects to these drugs. A handbook outlining all of the criteria for admission as well as the details of the program and a fee schedule is available upon request. For more information, contact the Center for Addiction Services and Treatment at (501)526-8400.
