Hospitals usually put an overdose with an attempted suicide if that was the intention of the overdose, but the individual will usually go through close evaluatation(s) first. When you hear the term ‘Substance Abuse’ most think of individuals who have been using illegal drugs (such as crack cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana etc..) However, that’s not always the case..
