Substance abuse in children is alcohol; street drugs; stealing prescription drugs from their parents or smoking.
Taking prescription drugs may be even destructive as illegal/illicit drugs do. Taking prescription drugs for several reasons can be very risky because a user will eventually fall to addiction. Prescription drug abuse may also have the same signs with illegal but there could be possibly more treatments to be given.
Illegal drugs and prescription-only drugs cannot be sold on eBay. Non-prescription drugs are sometimes available.
there are the illegal drugs like cocaine, heroin, marijuana and meth and the legal ones that need medical prescription as xanax, percocet, and the such.
alcohol is one of the most excessively abused drugs, partially because of its addictive traits, and the fact that it is legal. illegal drugs are still abused, however some people may think f any use of illegal drugs as "abusive" while the users will probably disagree. sleeping pills and other opiates are legal but require a prescription. some of the prescribed patiens abuse the drug and take excessives amount to feel "good". prescription drugs are also sold on the street for people to illegally purchase and use for recreational purposes.
they die
to escape.
They are abused everywhere. I would say ages 18-25 abuse the most. even parents get hooked on prescription drugs, and end up using more than they need. some people eat the pills, but many crush and snort the pills, like oxycotin, many people abuse this drug
because people need them!
