Mission
The Mission of the Johns Hopkins Hospital Substance Use Disorders Consultation Service (SUDS) is to improve the health and quality of life of patients with substance addiction by providing non-judgmental, comprehensive, and patient-centered care and education. The SUDS performs brief behavioral interventions and counseling to patients, facilitates linkage to hospital and community-based alcohol and drug treatment programs, provides guidance on the clinical management of substance withdrawal syndromes, and educates patients, families, healthcare professionals and the community to prevent, identify, and treat persons living with addiction.
