Alcohol & Substance Abuse Center

Substance abuse can take many forms, from the misuse of legal products (e.g., alcohol, prescription medications) to the use of illegal drugs (e.g., cocaine, marijuana). Because of parallels regarding addiction and dependence, smoking is also often considered a type of substance abuse or drug abuse. Substance abuse treatment includes detoxification, medications to psychotherapy.
