Mental health treatment plays a big role in substance use disorder (SUD). According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration SAMHSA, Mental disorders are generally characterized by changes in mood, thought, and/or behavior. They can make daily activities difficult and impair a person’s ability to work, interact with family, and fulfill other major life functions.
