Substance Abuse & Drug Addiction

Substance abuse

Substance abuse is the overindulgence in and dependence on a chemical, alcohol, drugs and inhalants, leading to effects that are harmful and detrimental to a person’s physical and mental health, and is harmful to those around them.

There is a difference in both abuse and dependence from addiction. Addiction involves a compulsion to continue using the substance (IE: drugs and alcohol) despite the negative consequences. This abuse may or may not involve chemical dependency. Dependence almost always implies abuse, but abuse frequently occurs without dependence. This occurs when a person first begins to abuse a substance. Dependence is a physical processes while substance abuse effects everybody, the substance abuser and society.

Drug Abuse and Addiction: You might be wondering why on earth your loved seems to be choosing drugs over family. You might be struggling with finances, or even from the painful realization your loved one is in trouble with the law. Or you might be asking yourself why you are taking drugs again, when you swore just a few hours ago that you needed to cut down. Helpguide.org

Project Know Help Line: Drug addiction can be a complex subject, particularly if all you've heard about it comes secondhand from other addicts. These days, much of this nation is confused about the causes and most effective treatments of drug addiction, and the surest way to perpetuate poor care is to parrot any method without examining its precepts. If you think you understand everything there is to know about drug addiction.
