What Is Substance Abuse?


Substance abuse refers to the physical and emotional dependency on substances like drugs or alcohol. Individuals with substance abuse have uncontrollable urges and persist to use the substances despite of the negative and harmful impact. Substance abuse can lead to life threatening consequences like stroke, cancer, cardiovascular disease and can also lead to mental health problems such as depression, dysfunctional, withdrawal.

Common Symptoms Include:

  • Neglecting responsibilities at school, work or home

  • Using substances under dangerous conditions (i.e. driving under the influence, using dirty needles)

  • Experiencing legal trouble

  • Problems in relationships

  • Building up tolerance to the substance

  • Using the substance to minimise or avoid withdrawal symptoms

  • Continuing to use substances even when you know they’re harming you
