What is drug abuse and how is it different from drug addiction? In fact there is a very fine line between these two and the term drug abuse is in facto drug addition but it seems less devastating to say drug abuse. Both involve the use of drugs to the point of creating adverse affects to ones health, relationships, career, mental outlook, etc. Addiction usually implies a compulsive uncontrolled used despite these effects being created. If one is continuing to abuse drugs despite the adverse consequences then there really is not much of a difference. It is mostly a matter of which term one chooses to use. Both will eventually lead to one of three outcomes – Jail, Death, or Sobriety. I suppose if you had to make a distinction you could say addiction is closer to jail or death.

My life before dipsomania was a happy one and when I found myself abusing drugs I didn't know where to turn. What would my family think of me? I was scared to tell them I had a problem and that I needed prescription drug abuse help.
Alcohol Detoxification and Substance Dependency
It took years for my mother to admit she had a substance dependency. Her addiction caused much pain and sorrow in our family and childhood was not very pleasant for me. As I got older and figured out that my mother was actually suffering from a substance dependency I decided to find help for her. After doing some research on alcohol detoxification I decided to have an intervention done on my mother. My mother went into alcohol detoxification two years ago and today she is the mother I always wanted her to be.
I've tried 3 different addiction treatments and none of them have worked so far. I'm at the end of my rope and I'm afraid I'm going to die soon if I don't get help. Please help me.
