Introduction
Anger management and substance use disorder (SUD) therapy may target the underlying causes of addiction and emotional dysregulation. Understanding the relationship between dysfunctional fury and drug addiction is essential for effective therapy. Understanding anger and drug use is essential for effective treatment and counseling. Identifying this association may help therapists enhance drug abuse and anger treatment programs for emotional well-being and long-term recovery.
Correlation, Barriers, and Strategies in Anger Management and Substance Use Treatment
As is usually believed, anger management is part of the treatment for SUD. According to Hsiao et al. (2019), drug abuse is often associated with unresolved anger used to numb emotions. If pharmaceutical therapy is inconvenient, patients may choose to forego it. Some people dispute the relationship between drugs and anger, claiming they do not have a problem or that their temper is uncontrollable. According to Hsiao et al. (2019), these challenges must be addressed for a successful treatment, although the technique remains challenging. The first guide, Guides 5 and 6, addresses these topics. In Session 5, erroneous assumptions are eliminated via cognitive re-framing and mental work-pause strategies. Session 6 explains what and how but also reduces the fear of saying “no” or not leading. These programs assist mental health/clinical patients in managing their anger and drug addiction in the short and long term. According to Laitano et al. (2022), mindfulness-based therapies such as MBSR and mindfulness meditation may aid in emotional regulation and the reduction of drug addiction. An in-depth approach investigates the complicated link between drug use, emotional state, and diffuse fury in order to promote recovery and relapse prevention.

Conclusion
To understand why these two mindsets collide, drug treatment should incorporate anger control. To be effective, treatment must address shame, denial, and medication resistance. Cognitive restructuring, assertiveness training, and mindfulness-based therapies are completed in sessions 5-6. These additional therapies are likely to aid the patient’s recovery.
