Heaven, earth, hell.
Treating patients with substance disorders in general practice can seem like tough work. Think 'substance abuse' and many of us may have automatic word associations such as manipulation, disruption, risk, danger and illegality. It sometimes may seem easy to blame the victim and to forget that addiction is a genuine health problem, and a very serious one at that.
