HOW CAN I TELL IF SOMEONE HAS SUBSTANCE ABUSE?

Category: Health

Substance abuse is a very serious problem and involves any misuse of substances to cope with and numb negative emotions, self-medicate to cope with the results of poor mental health, or using a substance to get intoxicated or high. Overuse of alcohol, misuse of prescription drugs, as well as the use of illegal drugs can lead to substance use disorders. This will frequently lead to problems in relationships at home, work, or school as it changes the way a person looks, acts, and feels.
