Understanding Addiction and Substance Use Disorder
Community Addiction Resources and Education—that's what C.A.R.E. for Sequatchie stands for. We’re here to spread awareness, provide helpful resources, and empower our community to address substance misuse and addiction. One of the key ways we do this is through education.
Addiction DOES NOT mean you are weak or a failure. Repeated substance use can cause changes in the brain’s structure and function, resulting in intense cravings that are very difficult to resist. This means addiction is not a choice, and it is not a simple matter of willpower. It’s a chronic, treatable disease. Learning more about addiction and substance use disorder can help you better understand the disease and why seeking help is so important for recovery.
Let’s work together as a community to eliminate the stigma around addiction and show our neighbors how much Sequatchie cares!
