Substance Abuse in the Family

Substance abuse challenges involve the harmful or excessive use of drugs or alcohol that disrupts daily life and well-being. These challenges include developing a dependency or addiction, experiencing negative impacts on health, relationships, and work, and facing legal or financial issues. Substance abuse often leads to difficulties in managing responsibilities and can exacerbate mental health problems. Effective treatment typically requires professional support, including therapy and rehabilitation, as well as a strong support system to aid in recovery and relapse prevention.
