Substance Abuse and Treatment Services

Drugs and alcohol are often used as ways to cope with unwanted feelings or stress. The following indicators are signs of substance abuse: denial, rationalization, secrecy, mood swings, wild schemes, depression, change in appetite, remorse, poor work/school performance, preoccupation with getting more drugs and a new set of hidden friends. Substance abuse distorts how one thinks, feels, and relates to other people. Substance abuse can happen to anyone. Over-achievers are often abusers. If, for any reason, you are concerned about a drug or drinking problem and want help for yourself or someone you know, the following agencies may be of assistance:

Substance Abuse Treatment for Pregnant and Parenting Women

The intake of alcohol and drugs while pregnant can cause birth defects (i.e. brain damage, low birth weight, fetal alcohol syndrome, etc.) Babies born with infant drug addiction must subsequently undergo drug withdrawal. These babies are difficult to care for and, consequently, are at high risk for child abuse. Alcohol/drug abuse can also cause premature births, miscarriages, and tends to increase a baby’s risk for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Those who are pregnant and using drugs should seek help from the following agencies:
