INTRODUCTIONSSubstance abuse is the continued use of drugs or alcohol despite negative consequences for the individual using them, their friends, their family and the community. Many addicted people first begin using a recreational form or taking prescription medications and become dependent over time due to inappropriate use. The Misuse of Drug Act (1971) states that export, production and possession with intent to supply are illegal.

The UK ranks third for drug abuse, with drug-related crimes estimated to be worth around £13.3 billion a year.
