| Abstract | ||
| Background: Impulsive conduct, a strong need to use a specific substance, drug seeking behavior, withdrawal symptoms, and tolerance are all indications of substance use disorders (SUDs), a category of mental diseases. The propensity for mental and/or physical dependency is influenced, in part, by the substance's mode of action; SUDs may include a broad range of substances, including stimulants, analgesics, hypnotics, and opioids. Research and practice in the domains of health and medicine have increasingly focused on quality of life (QOL). The primary objectives in medical and health research have historically been biological results rather than quality of life outcomes. Nonetheless, quality of life (QOL) evaluations have grown in popularity and research on QOL has intensified during the last few decades. In recent years, issues around drug dependency rehabilitation have brought resilience to the forefront. In psychiatry, resilience—defined as the capacity to adapt to challenging circumstances—is seen as an essential part of the healing process. Building resilience is not a sign of weakness; in fact, it is something that everybody can achieve. There are two types of resilience: intrinsic resilience, which results from internal, personal elements, and learned resilience, which may be shaped and reinforced by external, environmental influences. There are several ways to treating drug use disorders that are grounded on the idea of self-medication. This theory proposes that one of the primary reasons people use illicit substances is to temporarily alleviate psychological discomfort caused by chronic sensory overload. | ||
