Medication helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, making it easier to feel more like yourself again. Treatment also supports your whole life—not just your health. It can help you work through challenges like stress at home or work, low self-esteem, or relationships that may be tied to substance use. Recovery is possible, and you’re not alone.
