Substance Abuse
Substance abuse refers to the harmful or hazardous use of psychoactive substances such as alcohol, tobacco, prescription medications, and illicit drugs. It is a major public health issue linked to physical illness, mental health disorders, injuries, violence, and social instability. Substance abuse can lead to dependence, overdose, chronic disease, and increased mortality. Public health strategies focus on prevention, early intervention, treatment, harm reduction, and policy regulation. These include education programs, behavioral therapies, medication-assisted treatment, community support, and mental health services. Addressing underlying factors such as stress, trauma, unemployment, and social inequality is essential. Effective substance abuse control improves individual health, community safety, and economic productivity while reducing healthcare costs and societal harm.
