Should excessive use of steroids be treated as substance abuse or addiction?

Yes, excessive use of steroids can be treated as substance abuse or addiction.

which one

Excessive use of steroids can be treated as an addiction.

why only that one

Apologies for the confusion. Excessive use of steroids can be treated as both substance abuse and addiction. The term "substance abuse" refers to the misuse or excessive use of a substance, while "addiction" indicates a psychological and physical dependence on a substance. In the case of excessive steroid use, it can meet the criteria for both substance abuse and addiction.

pick one

If I have to choose one, excessive use of steroids is generally treated as an addiction. This is because long-term steroid use can lead to physical and psychological dependence on the drug, and individuals may experience withdrawal symptoms and cravings when trying to quit. Treatment approaches for excessive steroid use often involve counseling, therapy, and support groups commonly used for addiction treatment.

why not the other one

I apologize for any confusion caused. Excessive use of steroids can indeed be treated as both substance abuse and addiction. The distinction between the two lies in the specific diagnostic criteria and approaches to treatment. Substance abuse refers to the misuse or excessive use of a substance, while addiction involves the psychological and physical dependence on a substance. Both terms can be applicable to excessive steroid use, depending on the individual's circumstances and behaviors. It is important to note that treatment approaches may vary depending on the specific needs of the person seeking help.
