Some people use the odd bit of weed here and there and they’re fine. Some people start using a drug and quickly become hooked. Some people find that they can’t get through the day without a drink (or seven). How do you recognise when recreational use of substances is becoming a problem? In the latest episode of this web series, we have a REAL look into addiction and dependence, helping you identify when substance use becomes substance abuse and what to do about it.
