    Substance Abuse

    Substance Abuse is an excessively habitual partaking in drugs or alcohol. The effects of substance abuse can be harmful both mentally and physically and can lead to addictive tendencies. The most commonly abused substances are alcohol and opioids, which can cause problems such as heart and liver damage.
