Understanding The Clinical Criteria For:
SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), that is used by mental health professionals defines a substance use disorders, 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. According to the DSM-5, a diagnosis of substance use disorder is based on evidence of impaired control, social impairment, risky use, and pharmacological criteria.

RECOVERY STORIES

"Recovery gives back what addiction has taken from individuals, families, and communities. It gave me back my daughter, Susan."
- E.A. Crain, Stonyford, Ca.
Reducing Stigma & Privacy Barriers
CCR Supports Rural Telehealth Solutions
for Substance Use Disorders
(RURAL NEWS TODAY) - "Utilizing Telehealth technologies in Colusa County, is a win-win situation for all," say Susan Wagenaar, founder of Colusa County Recovery. "Telehealth addresses transportation challenges and reduces the stigma often associated with seeking treatment at a mental health facility in a small community, where everyone knows everyone, and a person's anonymity can not always be protected," says Wagenaar. "Our county has three community-based TELEHEALTH CARE-CENTERS located in Colusa, Williams and Stonyford. These centers are effectively decreasing care gaps and privacy barriers; while broadly advancing telehealth, to community members in need of primary care, mental health, and addiction recovery services," says Wagenaar.
