Abstract

Through this work, we are highlighting primary interventions that may help those struggling with substance abuse problems. Romania and Ireland have many issues in common, one of these issues is chemical substance abuse. In DSM-IIIR, "psychoactive substance abuse" is defined as "a maladaptive pattern of use indicated by continued use despite knowledge of having a persistent or recurrent social, occupational, psychological or physical problem that is caused or exacerbated by the use [or by] recurrent use in situations in which it is physically hazardous”.
