substance use is the development of a mental or physical dependence. A dependence pushes a person to use continuously more and more of a substance, only making their dependence worse as the cycle continues. The dependence on a substance may often be what causes a person to recognize the dangers of their substance use truly. If you or a loved one have developed a dependence on a drug or substance or feel that they may have to quit before a dependence forms, treatment is readily available to fit your needs.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-65cd99a2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"65cd99a2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What is the Difference Between Dependence and Addiction?\n<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-294df85b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"294df85b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The difference between dependence and addiction is not always obvious. These are not two separate conditions but rather two aspects of substance use disorder. It is possible to have a dependence on a substance without being addicted to it, but likely these coincide. If a person does have a dependence without an addiction, it is crucial to seek treatment before an addiction develops.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Addiction is a change in the chemistry in the brain that can make it incredibly difficult to stop using a substance. Addiction often leads a person to act recklessly to obtain more of a drug or substance and not care that they are putting themselves in danger by continuing use. A person may be unable to stop substance use even if they want to due to their addiction.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dependence is best thought of as the body\u2019s reaction to substance use. This can include developing a tolerance to the substance as well as symptoms of withdrawal when use stops. Tolerance is defined as a body growing more accustomed to substance use, which leads a person to need larger amounts of substance taken more often to achieve the desired effects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Withdrawal is the symptoms that occur when substance use suddenly is cut back or stopped. As the body grows used to substance use, a sudden change can lead to a variety of mental and physical symptoms. Withdrawal can often be a challenging and potentially dangerous process that is best done under the care of medical professionals.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5398d2da elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5398d2da\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Signs of Substance Dependence\n<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-143dcc56 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"143dcc56\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two primary types of dependence: mental and physical dependence. Mental dependence is defined by emotions, thoughts, or feelings directly caused by substance use. Usually, mental dependence is seen as negative feelings caused by the lack of use of the substance once dependence has already occurred. For examples of mental dependence could include:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anxiety<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depression<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irritability<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cravings or urges to use<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physical dependence, on the other hand, is related to the physical symptoms associated with substance use. Most withdrawal symptoms are usually signs of physical dependence. Physical dependence is the result of your body becoming accustomed to the heavy use of a substance. When substance use stops or pauses, the body naturally reacts to that change. Symptoms of physical dependence include:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Muscle weakness and cramps<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Body aches<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joint pain<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sweating<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shaking<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fever<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nausea and vomiting<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Headaches<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21fa5444 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"21fa5444\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Substance Use Disorder DSM 5\n<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1cb87483 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1cb87483\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medical professionals often turn to the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM-5, for diagnosing and evaluating mental health conditions. The DSM-5 also can be used to diagnose substance abuse disorders. Substance use disorder and substance dependence were previously considered as two separate conditions. However, the latest edition of the DSM treats these disorders as one now.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The DSM-5 sets eleven criteria that are considered to be symptoms of substance abuse disorder. Any person who has experienced at least two of the symptoms within the last year may be suffering from a substance abuse disorder. Medical professionals can also use the DSM-5 to evaluate the severity of the disorder. Two or three symptoms suggest a mild condition, four or five suggest a moderate condition, and six or more symptoms suggest a person suffering from a severe substance abuse disorder.<\/span><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellmind.com\/dsm-5-criteria-for-substance-use-disorders-21926\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The eleven criteria for substance abuse disorder according to the DSM-5 are<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking a substance in larger amounts than intended<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feeling the need to cut back or stop substance use but failing to do so<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spending a significant amount of time using, getting, or recovering from substance use<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experiencing intense cravings or urges to use substances<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Failing to meet responsibilities at work, school, or home as a result of substance use<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Continuing to use a substance even after it causes a problem in relationships with others<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Isolating yourself or giving up social or recreational activities as a result of substance use<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Continuing to use a substance even after it causes physical or emotional harm or makes an existing condition worse<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Continuing to use a substance even after it puts you in danger<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Needing to take substances in larger amounts or more often to achieve the desired effects<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Development of symptoms associated with withdrawal between substance use that can be relieved by taking more of the substance<\/span><\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7cb36027 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7cb36027\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Let Us Help You With Addiction Treatment<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b640630 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5b640630\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>At\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/warnerparkrecovery.com\/\">Warner Park Recovery<\/a>, we\u2019re here to help individuals and families by providing exceptional addiction treatment options.
