What distinguishes substance use disorder from addictive disorders?
Addictive disorders cannot be treated medically, unlike substance use disorders.

Substance use disorders involve the misuse of substances like drugs or alcohol, while addictive disorders are characterized by excessive involvement in rewarding stimuli despite adverse consequences.
Addictive disorders only refer to drug addiction.
