AB  - The  term  “dependency”  was  previously  used  to  describe  a  severe  form  of  substance  abuse  and  drug  addiction  characterized  by  the  triad  of:  (1)  a  psychological  dependence  or  craving  and  the  behavior  involved  in  procurement  of  the  drug;  (2)  physiologic  dependence,  with  withdrawal  symptoms  on  discontinuance  of  the  drug;  and  (3)  tolerance,  ie,  the  need  to  increase  the  dose  to  obtain  the  desired  effects.  The  terms  “dependency”  and  “abuse”  were  dropped  in  DSM-5  in  favor  of  the  single  term  “substance  use  disorder,”  ranging  from  mild  to  severe.  Many  patients  could  have  a  severe  and  life-threatening  abuse  problem  without  ever  being  dependent  on  a  drug.  Substance  use  disorder  is  a  treatable,  chronic  medical  illness.  Clinicians  and  health  care  systems  must  work  against  bias  toward  people  with  substance  use  disorder.  Medication-assisted  treatment  is  available  for  a  number  of  substance  use  disorders  and  is  a  key  element  in  their  management.
