Substance use disorder

From PsychonautWiki Archive
Revision as of 04:08, 29 December 2022 by >DXM (I'm adding this page as it is much needed. I am still editing. I was not sure whether to title it addiction, drug addiction, or substance use disorder. Substance use disorder seems the most fitting as addiction can refer to topics outside the realm of drugs (i.e. gambling or pornography). 'Drug addiction' is a term being phased about by the scientific community as it has been associated with just dependence and withdrawal while substance use disorder acknowledges the complexity and whole of use.)
