Substance use disorder is a chronic condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is a type of mental health disorder characterized by compulsive drug or alcohol use despite harmful consequences. At Valor Behavioral Health, we understand that substance use disorder is a complex condition that requires a comprehensive approach to treatment. In this article, we will discuss the symptoms of substance use disorder and how we can help you or your loved one achieve lasting recovery.
Substance use disorder can manifest in a variety of ways, and the symptoms can vary depending on the substance being used. However, some common symptoms of substance use disorder include:
At Valor Behavioral Health, we provide evidence-based treatments for substance use disorder, including medication-assisted treatment, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and contingency management. Our team of licensed therapists works closely with individuals to develop an individualized treatment plan that addresses their unique needs and goals.
Medication-assisted treatment involves using medications, such as methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone, to help manage withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings. This approach is particularly effective for individuals with opioid use disorder.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a type of talk therapy that helps individuals identify negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to substance use disorder. Our therapists work with individuals to develop healthy coping strategies and teach skills to prevent relapse.
Contingency management is a behavioral therapy that involves providing incentives, such as vouchers or prizes, for positive behaviors, such as attending therapy sessions or staying drug-free. This approach has been shown to be effective in promoting abstinence and reducing substance use.
In addition to individual therapy and medication-assisted treatment, we offer group therapy for individuals with substance use disorder. Our behavioral health support groups provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals to connect with others who have experienced similar challenges. Group therapy can help individuals feel less isolated and provide an opportunity to learn from others who are further along in their recovery journey.
At Valor Behavioral Health, we understand that substance use disorder can be a challenging condition to live with. That’s why we offer a holistic approach to treatment that includes mindfulness-based practices such as meditation and yoga. These practices can help individuals reduce stress and anxiety and improve overall well-being.

Our team provides the support and guidance you need to overcome this disorder and achieve lasting recovery. Contact us today at 866-395-7307 if you or a loved one are experiencing symptoms of substance use disorder.
Ashley Stover2024-09-11Extremely Disappointing Experience I recently attended Valor Behavioral Health for mental health treatment, but unfortunately, my experience was overwhelmingly negative. While I had hoped to find support and healing, I encountered several major issues. After serving 20 years in the United States Air Force I have PTSD, Depression and Anxiety and I was very hopeful to receive help from Valor but it ended up being a total waste of 3 months of my time, money, and energy. The quality of care was subpar, with classes that were unengaging and unhelpful. However, my main concerns were with the administrative team, who were consistently unprofessional and unresponsive. Even more alarming, I witnessed staff members engaging in inappropriate relationships with clients, which is a serious ethical violation. Furthermore, I suspect that the facility may be engaging in insurance fraud, which is not only illegal but also a betrayal of trust. What's even more disturbing is that many of the positive reviews I've seen online appear to be fake, written by actual staff members themselves. This lack of transparency and integrity further erodes trust in an already deeply flawed institution. Overall, I would strongly advise others to explore alternative options for mental health treatment. There are likely better, more reputable facilities that can provide the support and care you deserve. This review will be deleted soon since it’s not a 5 star review!!Liam Parsell2024-08-18My experience at Valor has been nothing less than outstanding. I was first introduced to Kerry when I arrived who embodies the perfect first interaction for an incoming client. The family culture they deliver to clients works and made me feel at home almost instantly. I highly recommend this facility if you need to conquer a bump in your life.Tyler Yaughn2024-08-18Great place to recover!!! Therapists are attentive and knowledgeable.

The owner does not live in Georgia.Evan Mccavey2024-08-15I highly recommend Valor Behavioral Health! The therapist, and the whole team goes above and beyond. I have been to multiple treatment centers, and as a 19 year old I can say this is the best treatment for anyone young or older. They communicate effectively and clearly. Any issue arises; they handle it with the utmost professionalism. The qualities they have shown to shine above all are respect, care, and how they truly figure out a individualized treatment plan that will help you or a loved one get pass with whatever you struggle with mental health and or substance abuse wise.Charles Aldridge2024-08-07Overall a great experience.
