Substance Misuse

According to SAMHSA, 1 in 12 Americans has a Substance Use Disorder (SUD), but most people don’t reach out for help because of fear of stigma and the thought of abstinence. You don’t have to have SUD to assess your relationship with drugs and alcohol and you don’t have to wait until you hit “rock bottom” to make changes.

For more info on how Youturn Health can individuals and family members with substance misuse, please contact info@youturnhealth.com.
