Substance abuse is a tendency to abuse certain substances that may cause the patient harm or affect their function significantly, such as alcohol, prescription drugs, or illegal drugs. Patients who struggle with substance abuse consume these substances frequently, often despite a strong desire to stop.
Substance abuse usually develops when a person begins using alcohol or a drug recreationally but then becomes addicted to the substance. Two main types of dependency can develop among substance abuse patients:
Physical dependence causes the patient to experience physical withdrawal symptoms unless they take the drug, while psychological dependency causes emotional withdrawal symptoms when the patient stops taking the drug.

The purpose of this assessment is to evaluate the patient’s relationship with a specific substance to determine whether a substance abuse disorder exists. If the results of the assessment show that the patient does have a disorder, New Hope Recovery House can recommend treatment options.
