Substance use disorder (SUD) is a chronic brain disease that changes how your mind functions. One powerful example of this is he**in addiction.

He**in hijacks your brain's reward system, flooding it with dopamine and creating intense cravings.

Over time, as your brain gets used to the he**in in your system, it will stop producing normal amounts of feel-good chemicals on its own. This means that your body starts to rely on and needs he**in just to feel normal, which is why he**in addiction recovery requires strategic medical support.

At Arista Recovery, we've seen countless people overcome he**in addiction and rebuild meaningful lives. Our approach goes beyond just getting clean; we focus on healing the whole person through evidence-based care delivered with heart: https://www.aristarecovery.com/blog/he**in-addiction-recovery

DBT for addiction is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy that was first created in the 1980s by Dr. Marsha Linehan.

DBT was originally designed to help people with borderline personality disorder who had severe emotional struggles. Today, DBT for addiction is used widely to treat substance use disorders (SUD) and other mental health conditions.

The word "dialectical" means finding balance between opposite ideas. With DBT, this means learning to accept yourself as you are while also working to change harmful behaviors. It's about holding two truths at once: you're doing your best, and you can do better.

-Stress
-Periods of boredom or excessive free time
-Certain people, places, or situations
