Chico Recovery Center Professional Interventions
During the COVID-19 lockdown – individuals not previously involved with heavy drinking or drugging have begun to self-medicate. Some have drifted into functional alcoholism or substance abuse.
Substance abuse can simply be defined as a pattern of harmful use of any substance for mood-altering purposes. “Substances” can include alcohol and other drugs (illegal or not).
“Abuse” can result when using a substance in a way not intended or recommended. Or, by taking more than the prescribed dose of prescription drugs. When the individual involved has difficulty in being honest with themselves regarding the substance abuse – or cannot stop using by themselves – a professional intervention is very helpful.
How much alcohol is too much?
