Drug/Alcohol Abuse

Drug and alcohol abuse is a common problem among underage youth. Just like any addiction, it’s a problem that most people cannot solve on their own. While treatment facilities can provide solutions, an individual who is addicted must be willing to seek help.

Fighting addiction alone is hard. The effects of abuse impact physical and mental well-being. Addiction also affects family and friends, hurting the very people who love and invest in those suffering from addiction. Often times, addiction leads to violence. People who are addicted may turn to violence to support a habit or utilize violence because they are operating outside of their normal faculties.

The good news is that its never too late to seek help. Once you admit you have a problem, you are on your way to recovery. Beating addiction starts with taking the first step. Start today, take the first step – S.T.O.P. is here to help.
