Knowing drug or alcohol use has crossed the line from recreational substance use into a substance use disorder is difficult to determine for the person struggling. Generally speaking, there is a distribution of risk, with the lowest usage levels offering the highest odds of developing a severe drug abuse problem. But for many people who habitually use drugs or alcohol, realizing when they are beginning to show the signs of a substance abuse disorder can be difficult to assess.
If you have a question concerning your drug or alcohol use, or the use a loved one, our drug rehab center in Winchester, California offers solid, evidence-based advice for our clients. For many years, it was believed that anyone who used illegal drugs or used legal drugs recreationally automatically had a substance abuse problem. But over the last few decades, research on this topic has advanced considerably.
Today, it is recognized that not everyone who uses illegal drugs has a substance abuse disorder, just as not everyone who consumes alcohol is an alcoholic. But above certain low and moderate levels of use, the likelihood that any given drug or alcohol user will develop a serious abuse disorder begin to substantially increase. Also, the severity of use can quickly increase the chances that the user will suffer adverse health, legal and workplace consequences from their drug or alcohol use.
