Why Do I Abuse Drugs and Substances? Is This a Disorder?
Question by ?: Why do I abuse drugs and substances? Is this a disorder?
I have a habit of abusing drugs, anything from prescription medicines to hard drugs. I abuse anything like benzos or ketamine or stimulants, anything that gives me a high. Why do I abuse drugs? I have this drug seeking behaviour where I want more and more of the drug. How do I get rid of this? I know that substance abuse is linked to some sort of mental disorder. What is it? How do I stop it?
I have taken psychiatric help in the past. It didn’t help

Answer by David
Are you feeling down? Are things just not going the way you want them to? You might be dependant on drugs to escape from reality if that is the case. You should talk to a psychilogist or drug therapist about your problem, It can get very serious if it isn’t already.
Does Anyone Know of Any Free Drug/alcohol Rehabs in So Cal?
Question by Skull Boy: Does anyone know of any free drug/alcohol rehabs in So Cal?
I have a nephew that has a really bad alcohol and speed addiction. He’s been in the emergency room several times over the past two years and almost died the last time. He needs to go a rehab center, but the family can’t afford it. Does anyone know of any free rehab centers in So Cal? He lives in Victorville CA, but will travel if needed. It needs to be a place where he can stay. Out patient won’t work for him I’m afraid.

Can’t be so God does not exist right? or is it?
I’m confused so thouthful answers will be really appreciated.
