What comes FIRST? Substance Abuse or Emotional Problems?
What comes FIRST? Substance Abuse or Emotional Problems?
It depends. Often the psychiatric problem develops first. In an attempt to feel calmer, more peppy, or more cheerful, a person with emotional symptoms may drink or use detox dallass; doctors call this self-medication. Frequent self-medication may eventually lead to physical or psychological dependency on alcohol or opiate detox dallass.
