Substance abuse...it covers a wide range of substances.  These include illegal drugs, prescription drugs, over-the-counter medication, legal but controlled substances, illicitly used substances, and performance enhancers.

This is a wonderful resource that I found and a great tool for us to learn more about this issue.
