 DRUG
MISUSE
Drug misuse is generally associated with prescription medicines.
Prescription medicines are meant to be taken as directed by
doctors. This is because these types of drugs can cause adverse
side effects if directions are not followed.
Drug misuse happens when these substances are taken for a
purpose that is not consistent with legal or medical guidelines.

Examples of this include:

● Taking the incorrect dose
● Taking the drug at the wrong time
● Forgetting to take a dose
● Stopping the use of a drug too soon
● Taking a drug for reasons other than why they were prescribed
● Taking a drug that was not prescribed to you
 DRUG
ABUSE
Drug abuse happens when drugs, including
alcohol, illicit drugs, or any psychoactive
substances, are misused to get high or inflict
self-harm. It is also known as substance use
disorder (SUD) since people who abuse drugs
experience significantly altered thinking,
behavior, and body functions.
 DRUG
ADDCITION
Drug addiction, also known as severe SUD, is
a brain disorder that manifests as the
uncontrollable use of a substance despite
its consequences. People with drug addiction
have a physical and/or psychological need
to take a substance because they suffer
intense or debilitating withdrawal symptoms
when they go without that substance.
