The Pain
Behind the Numbers
Isolation, anxiety, shame, distress and despair can lead to violence - both domestic and social - as well as to self-harm and often to suicide.
The impact of substance abuse is felt far and wide, from family environments to the work place and beyond, from personal pain to the collapse of family systems and loss of financial stability and security. Friends, family, coworkers and whole organizations suffer consequences of one addict’s or alcoholic’s disease.
