From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. The disorder is characterized by a pattern of continued pathological use of a medication, non-medically indicated drug or toxin, that results in repeated adverse social consequences related to drug use, such as failure to meet work, family, or school obligations, interpersonal conflicts, or legal problems. There are on-going debates as to the exact distinctions between substance abuse and substance dependence, but current practice standard distinguishes between the two by defining substance dependence in terms of physiological and behavioral symptoms of substance use, and substance abuse in terms of the social consequences of substance use. Substance abuse may lead to addiction or substance dependence. Medically, physiologic dependence requires the development of tolerance leading to withdrawal symptoms. Both abuse and dependence are distinct from addiction which involves a compulsion to continue using the substance despite the negative consequences, and may or may not involve chemical dependency. Dependence almost always implies abuse, but abuse frequently occurs without dependence, particularly when an individual first begins to abuse a substance. Dependence involves physiological processes while substance abuse reflects a complex interaction between the individual, the abused substance and society. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License How will I get to find substance abuse treatment centers in Lincolndale, New York? Q. I need to do this for my friend. Among the two of us, she has always been the more responsible one. She looked after me as if I was her little sister. Ever since her boyfriend broke up with her, though, things changed. I would often find her slumped on her bed whenever I visit her house. She hid it from us, but she has also been indulging in alcoholic beverages as well. I sat beside her all day yesterday. We reminisced and cried, and she finally agreed to get herself treated for her alcohol addiction. This is why I need to find substance abuse treatment centers. Any help will be surely appreciated. Asked by alicia b - Mon Aug 13 02:38:00 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Oh, I'm so sorry about what happened to your friend. It's really not worth it-- ruining her life over just a guy, I mean. It's a good thing that she has already realized that she's not doing herself a favor by indulging in alcohol. Just keep on being there for her as your moral support and encouragement would surely make a lot of difference. As for treatment centers, the links below will help you in finding them. You can also ask your friend's parents to take her to a hospital so she can get checked up on by a doctor. The doctor will then be able to tell your friend what kind of treatment program she should undergo as well as which treatment center will get to provide her with this kind of treatment. Good luck!

Q. What are the percentages of races affected by substance abuse? Asked by nicole-kellie - Fri May 22 20:50:39 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Though substance abuse negatively effects all races, only the politically-correct types dare lie and say "The Human Race." -As if all races are effected equally. (Or as if their is only ONE race, which is nonsense.) This ignores the extreemly high alcoholism rate among Indians and the illegal substance abuse rate of Africans. Africans in the US routinely fail drug tests at a much higher rate in the private sector as well as the military.
