Document Description

Substance Abuse / Addiction is a chronic, progressive, and potentially fatal condition based on a lifestyle focused on compulsive and overwhelming drug use (for this discussion, the term substance use / abuse includes alcoholism). A person with substance abuse will be preoccupied with drug use (either continuously or periodically), will not be able to control the drug use even when there are serious consequences, and will justify the drug use with convoluted, odd reasoning.
