Substance abuse
is a disorder. People utilize substances, such as drugs,
alcohol and tobacco. The use of substances can affect their
quality of life and can interfere with their daily living
skills. People who abuse substances do it for various, and
most times, complicated reasons. The toll for this abuse is
taken on our families, employment, relationships, and even
the basic communication needed for daily functioning.
There is a
genetic link to substance abuse, but in many cases it is in
response to some type of trauma in one’s life. Teenagers
are known to experiment with substances. It is when it
becomes their main focus that there is a cause for concern.
