Substance Abuse

Substance Abuse West Bloomfield - Substance Abuse done for a Lady Do you find yourself heavily relying on alcohol and/or drugs? According to the National Institutes of Health, drug abuse is a serious public health problem that affects almost every community and family in some way. Alcohol abuse affects about 18 million Americans, according to the NIH. You may feel that using drugs helps you cope with emotionally overwhelming thoughts, memories, or experiences. In the end, however, mind-altering substances will generally worsen your psychological or emotional condition.
Substance abuse is a serious problem that should be addressed as soon as possible by a licensed, experienced professional. Once heavy use of drugs or alcohol begins, physiological changes occur that may lead to not only an emotional dependence on a substance, but also a physical dependency.
