How do i know if i have a substance abuse problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Use despite problems: Basically the diagnosis of substance abuse or substance dependence depends on a pattern of continued use despite evidence that using that substance has caused or might cause serious health, social, psychological, work or legal problems.
