Substance Use Disorder (S.U.D.) Treatment

Stop LOSING with USING!

Injured yourself or someone else because you were high? Or lost control of your life due to substance abuse?

Have people said you have a problem
with drinking and/or using?

Are you looking at jail time for using substances illegally?

If any of this sounds too familiar, you may have a substance use disorder (SUD). You can never win by allowing drugs and alcohol to make you lose control. It’s time to stop losing with substance abuse, and start winning with treatment from APDS.
