How Do You Know If You Need Online Substance Use Treatment?
Often, people—or trusted friends and family—start to notice that alcohol or drug use is creating new problems or making existing issues worse. For instance, people with anxiety may try to cope with their intense feelings by self-medicating with alcohol or other substances.
Additionally, you may notice that you:
- Turn to substances to avoid difficult situations or emotions
- Feel less in control of your use
- Need to use more to feel the effects of the substance
- Are experiencing problems at work, school, or
in relationships related to your use
But seeking help can be hard as you may not feel your use is causing that much harm, and you may fear how others will judge you.
