According to the most recent statistics, 165 million Americans over the age of 12 struggle with substance abuse. These people are addicted to prescription drugs, alcohol, tobacco products, and illegal drugs. Many of those who suffer from these kinds of addictions aren't always aware of the harm they cause themselves, let alone the harm they inflict on their loved ones. Substance abuse not only takes a toll on the one who has the addiction, but it also has a detrimental effect on those with whom they are in a relationship.
