When someone is facing losing their home, it is possible that they’ll also drink more and take more drugs. Not that either will do anything to handle the problem, but when you’ve worked hard to get somewhere, it’s hard to see it going down the drain through no fault of your own. 

Of course, drug and alcohol abuse only makes the problem worse. You can’t figure out how to solve problems when you can’t think clearly.

While it’s not likely that someone who doesn’t normally drink or take drugs, and who is determined not to, will start because of the economy, people who already depend on drugs and alcohol to handle their emotional state are likely to do so even more.

Families in trouble financially are going to suffer even more if someone starts drinking more or taking more drugs.

If someone you know needs help, call Drug Rehab Referral to find an addiction treatment center. Times may be hard, but they’ll get even worse with a drug or alcohol problem.
