What is substance use disorder?

Substance use disorder is a treatable medical condition in which a person continues using alcohol or drugs despite harmful consequences to their health, relationships, or daily life. It's not a moral failing or a lack of willpower—it involves real changes in the brain that make substance use difficult to control. Substance use disorder ranges from mild to severe, and it affects people from all walks of life.

Recovery is possible, and seeking help is a sign of strength. With compassionate, evidence-based care, many people manage their condition and rebuild their lives. Clearview Mental Health provides substance use support to patients across Ohio, Michigan, and North Carolina, entirely online.

What are the signs of a substance use problem?

Substance use disorder can affect your body, behavior, and relationships. Common signs include:

Using more, or for longer, than you intended
Wanting to cut back but finding it difficult
Spending a lot of time getting, using, or recovering from substances
Cravings or strong urges to use
Neglecting responsibilities at work, school, or home
Continuing to use despite problems it causes
Needing more to get the same effect (tolerance)
Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when not using

If some of these feel familiar, for you or someone you love, reaching out is an important first step.

How do we help with substance use at Clearview?

Substance use is most effectively addressed through therapy and ongoing support, often alongside treatment for co-occurring conditions like anxiety or depression. At Clearview, we provide compassionate, judgment-free care built around your goals.

Therapy and counseling - Talk therapy, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), helps you understand what drives your substance use, develop coping strategies, and work toward your goals. Delivered virtually, therapy has been shown to be just as effective as in-person care.
Psychiatry and dual diagnosis support - Substance use often occurs alongside conditions like anxiety, depression, or trauma. Our psychiatric providers can evaluate and treat these co-occurring conditions as part of your care.
A compassionate, collaborative approach - Recovery isn't one-size-fits-all. You and your provider set goals together and work at a pace that fits your life, with support that adjusts as you progress.

You don't have to face this alone, and you won't wait weeks to be seen. Clearview offers same-week virtual appointments, accepts most major insurance, and serves patients across Ohio, Michigan, and North Carolina from the comfort of home.
