Substance use is when you take or ingest any substance, such as alcohol or drugs. Substance abuse is when you take or ingest more than what is recommended of a substance. Adolescents should avoid all substances because their brain isn’t fully developed and drinking or using substances before then can have irreversible consequences.
Addiction refers to any behavior or act that is difficult to stop doing, even though that behavior is causing negative consequences. Some of the most common addictions include drugs, alcohol, gambling, and pornography. Knowing the difference between having an addiction, and not having one, is important to prevent it from developing.
