What is Malnutrition?
Malnutrition occurs when an individual’s body does not receive sufficient nutrients, leading to physical weakness, compromised immune function, and other health issues. Malnutrition can result from poor dietary habits, medical conditions, or substance use, where nutrients are neglected or depleted. In recovery, addressing malnutrition through balanced nutrition is essential to support physical and mental healing.
Nutritional guidance is often integrated into addiction treatment to help restore health and energy.
