Substance misuse is when someone uses drugs or alcohol in a way that harms their health.
Over time, this can lead to dependency, where it affects the way they think, feel, and behave, and they keep using even when it causes problems in their life.
The impact isnβt the same for everyone.
It depends on the person, their situation, and what theyβre using. For example, regularly drinking too much alcohol can lead to serious long-term issues, including damage to the brain.
