Drug use and abuse is something that is likely to affect most people at some point in their lives. But really just how harmful or harmless is drug use? Featuring case studies of two young adults who have been negatively affected by drugs, this program seeks to explore what drugs are, legal and illegal drugs, the effect of drugs on a person's health and wellbeing, what to do in a crisis and prevention and treatment strategies for those affected by drug use and abuse. Features commentary from Chris Morley, a drug and alcohol worker from the Youth Substance Abuse Service.
