Addiction nursing is part of the health care service provided to individuals who are afflicted with substance use disorders and addictive behaviors. Addiction nurses use a combination of clinical knowledge and emotional intelligence in counseling patients for detoxification, rehabilitation, and reintegration into their respective lives. It addresses the physiological and psychological aspects of addiction in a holistic approach.
