What are the Challenges Nurses Face in Managing SUD?
Nurses often encounter several challenges when managing SUD, such as:
Stigma: Both patients and healthcare providers may have stigmatizing attitudes towards SUD, which can hinder treatment. Resource Limitations: Limited access to specialized care and treatment facilities can be a barrier to effective management. Complex Patient Needs: Patients with SUD often have co-occurring mental health disorders and social issues that complicate care. Relapse: The chronic nature of SUD means that relapse is common, requiring ongoing support and management.
