The ABCs of Commonly Abused Drugs
When working to understand the science behind addiction, it's also important to have a foundation of knowledge around the substances that are commonly abused. Dr. Hayley has put together a glossary of commonly abused drugs to help you better understand substances that may be a part of someone's life who is dealing with addiction.
