What Challenges Do Nurses Face in Treating SUDs?

Nurses may encounter several challenges, such as:
- Stigma: Patients may face societal stigma, which can affect their willingness to seek help. Nurses must approach care with empathy and without judgment.
- Complex Cases: Patients often have comorbid conditions, requiring a nuanced approach to treatment that addresses both the SUD and any co-occurring mental health issues.
- Resource Limitations: Limited access to specialized treatment facilities or programs can hinder effective management and recovery.
