Substance Abuse (Help is available)

Substance abuse is often an unhelpful mechanism to deal with mental health issues that are life-debilitating. There is a close relationship between domestic violence and substance abuse. Living with domestic violence caused by a loved one due to substance abuse and other mental health illnesses can destroy families and communities.

Mental health issues can be so detrimental that the only option may be substance abuse which results in a circle of greater issues including suicidal thoughts or behaviour.
