The substance use disorder market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC's new report titled "Substance Use Disorder Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2025-2035". Substance use disorder (SUD) refers to a chronic, relapsing medical condition that is characterized by compulsive drug or alcohol usage. It can have a significant impact on an individual's physical and mental health, relationships, work, and overall quality of life. Substance use disorder can develop through recreational drug use or by prolonged consumption of prescribed medications, such as painkillers. Symptoms of the condition can vary depending on the substance used, the frequency and amount of use, and the individual's medical and personal history. Some of the common symptoms of SUD are strong urges to consume drugs or alcohol, continued substance use despite negative consequences, withdrawal signs like anxiety, agitation, insomnia, physical symptoms like nausea and sweating, etc. Other indications include social, legal, and financial problems, strained relationships with family and friends, etc. Diagnosis of SUD usually involves a thorough evaluation by a healthcare professional, including medical history, physical examination, and behavioral assessment.

The rising usage of prescription/illicit drugs coupled with the increasing consumption of tobacco and alcohol is primarily driving the global substance use disorder market. In addition to this, the emerging popularity of outpatient rehabilitation programs, which allow individuals to live at home while receiving regular treatment, such as therapy or medication-assisted treatment (MAT), is further creating a positive outlook for the market. Moreover, several government bodies across the globe are taking initiatives to create awareness and understanding of SUD as a treatable medical condition, thus reducing the stigma associated with it and encouraging more people to seek treatment. This, in turn, is acting as a significant growth-inducing factor. Apart from this, the introduction of private insurance coverage for substance abuse disorder treatment, which has made it easier for individuals to access and afford the medicament, is also propelling the global market. Additionally, the escalating utilization of holistic therapeutic approaches, such as yoga, meditation, acupuncture, etc., in combination with traditional SUD treatments to address the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of substance abuse is further bolstering the market growth. Besides this, the widespread adoption of behavioral therapies, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing, which help in identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors related to substance abuse, is expected to drive the global substance use disorder market during the forecast period.
