Substance Abuse + Addiction Treatment
Substance abuse refers to the intensive and inappropriate use of psychoactive substances. These include illegal drugs, alcohol, and even the excessive use of prescription drugs. Overuse of these substances leads to severe physical or psychological dependence.

Opioid + Opiate Addiction Treatment
Opioid addiction treatment facilities like Horizon Health Services - Boulevard Recovery Center support people struggling with opioid dependency, which covers illegal and prescription opioids.
