Substance Use Disorders - Social Services

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), no longer uses the terms substance abuse and substance dependence, rather it refers to substance use disorders, which are defined as mild, moderate, or severe to indicate the level of severity, which is determined by the number of diagnostic criteria met by an individual. Substance use disorders occur when the recurrent use of alcohol and/or drugs causes clinically and functionally significant impairment, such as health problems, disability, and failure to meet major responsibilities at work, school, or home.

American Addiction Centers

https://americanaddictioncenters.org/virtual-meetings

These sessions will be based on traditional 12-step meetings, hosted by a person in recovery, and topics or meeting types will vary based on the group’s preference. Following the traditions of 12-step programs, these meetings are not affiliated with AAC or any of its affiliates.

We are adopting the slogan “progress not perfection” and will do our best to adhere to traditional 12-step guidelines. Our primary purpose with these meetings is to create a safe, confidential, and accessible forum for those who are in recovery or seeking recovery.

Although meeting types will vary, we believe the best way to attend these meetings will be from your computer. This will allow you to listen and take part in the chat feature to let us know if you would like to share at any time. Your meeting host will enable and disable the microphone to allow whoever might be sharing to do so with minimal distractions and interruptions.

If you are not able to join from a computer, we invite you to call in – as is often said in the rooms, “sometimes we can benefit from sitting back and listening”.
