Understanding Drug Abuse

When entering a drug rehab program, it is helpful to understand what drug abuse is and why it is harmful. In this video, you can hear some examples of drug abuse that will showcase how this problem may arise and what you might do to address it.

As is explained in this clip, drug abuse can take place when someone is misusing prescription drugs either by taking higher doses than recommended or taking a drug that has been prescribed to someone else. Prescription drug use can be just as harmful as the use of street drugs, and it should be treated within an addiction treatment center.
