Alcohol and Drug Abuse

Alcohol and drug abuse refers to the harmful or hazardous use of substances like alcohol, prescription medications, or illegal drugs. This behavior can lead to addiction, where individuals feel a compulsive need to consume these substances despite the negative consequences on their health, relationships, and daily life. The misuse can result in physical and mental health problems, impaired judgment, and risky behaviors. Understanding and addressing substance abuse is crucial for prevention and recovery, with support options available such as therapy, rehabilitation programs, and community resources aimed at helping those affected regain control of their lives.
