Substance/Alcohol Abuse

Substance and alcohol abuse refers to the harmful or excessive use of drugs or alcohol that negatively impacts a person’s health, relationships, and daily functioning. This behavior can lead to addiction, physical and mental health problems, and social difficulties. Substance abuse often stems from a combination of genetic, psychological, and environmental factors, including stress, trauma, or peer pressure. Recovery typically involves a combination of medical treatment, counseling, support groups, and lifestyle changes. Early intervention and ongoing support are crucial to helping individuals overcome addiction, regain control of their lives, and maintain long-term sobriety.
