DRUG AND ALCOHOL INFORMATION
When you plan to confront an employee or loved one about drug and/or alcohol abuse, it is important to know the all the facts. At Williamsburg Place and the William J. Farley Center, we are aware of the damage drug and alcohol abuse can do to a person's health, finances, and personal and professional relationships. The more you know about controlled substances, the better equipped you will be to help those in need of rehabilitation and recovery.
Drugs of abuse typically fall into specific categories:
The sources for these drugs may vary. They may be purchased illegally from dealers, obtained through forged prescriptions or theft, and in some case bought legally. Certain household objects, like model glue and aerosol sprays, may also be abused to achieve a dangerous, addictive high. Regardless of whether or not a drug is legal, the fact remains that any substance with addictive properties can be abused, and if addictive behavior is not treated it can lead to health and mental problems, perhaps permanent brain damage or death.
Please visit our glossary of street terms for drugs.
