When alcohol or other substances begin affecting your relationships, work, health or everyday life, it can be difficult to know how to change things. Support can provide a non-judgemental space to understand what’s happening and explore healthier ways forward.
Substance abuse is the harmful pattern of using substances-such as tobacco, alcohol, illicit drugs, and prescription drugs-leading to impairment or distress. Substance abuse and problematic patterns of substance use can lead to problems including problems at work/home, cause or aggravate physical and mental health-related issues, promote poor relationships, cause motor-vehicle accidents, and place stress on the family.
There is hope. There are effective, evidenced based treatments for substance abuse.
