Substance Use and Abuse |
Drug and alcohol abuse is a serious issue affecting people of all age groups. Infants are born addicted every day due to pregnant mothers who abuse drugs during their pregnancy. Teens face the stress and strains of peer pressure, succumbing to the temptation of their friends to "try new things". Adults in their later years sometimes continue to rely on drugs they began using earlier in life. These issues are explored within the links provided below.
