Occupational therapy and substance use disorder

Substance use disorders (SUD) can have a significant effect on one's function in all areas of occupation.[1][2] Physical and psychosocial issues due to SUD can impact occupational performance.[3] Unfulfilled life roles and disruption in meaningful activity can result from lack of structure or routine, poor motivation, limited skills, and poor social networks.[1][3] These deficits may also contribute to stress, affecting the ability to cope with challenges.[3] While SUD can affect a client's participation in therapy and ability to follow recommendations, occupational therapists are trained to facilitate occupational participation and performance.[4]
