Substance abuse, also known as drug abuse, refers to a maladaptive pattern of use of a substance that is not considered dependent. The term "drug abuse" does not exclude dependency, but is otherwise used in a similar manner in nonmedical contexts. The terms have a huge range of definitions related to taking a psychoactive drug or performance enhancing drug for a non-therapeutic or non-medical effect. All of these definitions imply a negative judgment of the drug use in question (compare with the term responsible drug use for alternative views). Some of the drugs most often associated with this term include alcohol, amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methaqualone, and opioids. Use of these drugs may lead to criminal penalty in addition to possible physical, social, and psychological harm, both strongly depending on local jurisdiction. Other definitions of drug abuse fall into four main categories: public health definitions, mass communication and vernacular usage, medical definitions, and political and criminal justice definitions. Worldwide, the UN estimates there are more than 50 million regular users of heroin, cocaine and synthetic drugs. Substance abuse is a form of substance-related disorder.

I need to do this for my friend. Among the two of us, she has always been the more responsible one. She looked after me as if I was her little sister. Ever since her boyfriend broke up with her, though, things changed. I would often find her slumped on her bed whenever I visit her house. She hid it from us, but she has also been indulging in alcoholic beverages as well. I sat beside her all day yesterday. We reminisced and cried, and she finally agreed to get herself treated for her alcohol addiction. This is why I need to find substance abuse treatment centers. Any help will be surely appreciated. Asked by alicia b - Mon Aug 13 02:38:00 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Oh, I'm so sorry about what happened to your friend. It's really not worth it-- ruining her life over just a guy, I mean. It's a good thing that she has already realized that she's not doing herself a favor by indulging in alcohol. Just keep on being there for her as your moral support and encouragement would surely make a lot of difference. As for treatment centers, the links below will help you in finding them. You can also ask your friend's parents to take her to a hospital so she can get checked up on by a doctor. The doctor will then be able to tell your friend what kind of treatment program she should undergo as well as which treatment center will get to provide her with this kind of treatment. Good luck!
