Substance abuse disorders have grown in public awareness recently due to America’s opioid epidemic. People are more aware of the devastating effects addiction can have on your life, but the focus on opioids have left many unanswered questions.

• How do you know when substance use is a problem?
• What are the signs of addiction?
• Can other medications lead to addiction?

Or, most of all:

• Can anyone help me?

If you’re questioning what you think you know about substance abuse, you’re not alone. Substance abuse is often misunderstood, especially when it involves prescription medications. Just never forget help is out there for you.
