Substance abuse can severely disrupt nutritional balance, with studies showing a high prevalence of malnutrition among individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs). Beyond just addressing deficiencies, a targeted and healthy diet is a powerful, yet often overlooked, tool for supporting the brain and body throughout the recovery process.

It is estimated that up to 50% of individuals in addiction treatment have mild to moderate malnutrition, an often-overlooked consequence of substance use. Understanding how does substance abuse affect nutrition is key to appreciating its widespread health impact and the importance of nutritional support in recovery.
