Substance Abuse and Health Law

Substance abuse refers to the harmful use of drugs or alcohol, which can lead to addiction and various health issues. Health law in this context involves regulations and policies designed to protect public health by addressing substance abuse. This includes prevention programs, treatment access, and legal measures that aim to reduce drug-related harm in communities. Public health law works to create a safer environment by enforcing regulations that limit substance availability and promote education on drug use, ultimately striving to improve overall community health and well-being.
