Substance use disorder professionals are trained individuals who assess, diagnose, and treat people experiencing problems related to drug or alcohol use. They may include counselors, therapists, social workers, or medical professionals specializing in addiction.

These challenges can be addressed through ongoing training, regular supervision, self-care practices, and collaboration with multidisciplinary teams to ensure comprehensive support for both clients and staff.
