Substance Use Disorder is diagnosed in the DSM-5 when the use of drugs leads to significant impairment or distress, such as failing to fulfill major role obligations at work, school, or home, despite not necessarily being addicted. This includes cases where there are serious family or work-related difficulties due to drug use.
