Drug abuse, like alcohol abuse, is when you use a drug excessively, to the detriment of your physical or mental health.
Misuse is when a drug is not used properly, such as taking the wrong dose, or using the wrong drug for the wrong purpose. For instance, taking antibiotics for a cold. Since colds are caused by viruses, and antibiotics only work for bacterial infections, that would be a misuse of antibiotics.
Drug misuse is when you take a drug to treat a symptom that it is either not prescribed for or not effective against. Like taking someone else's blood pressure medication to relieve certain headaches. Or taking antibiotics for the flu or another virus.
Drug abuse is when you take any drug because the side effects get you high.
Drug abuse deals with overuse, where misuse means to use for a reason other than what it is for. For example, the analgesic (narcotic) morphine. A person who abuses morphine may become an addict and abuse the drug (overuse). But if that person uses the morphine to calm a cough, they would be misusing the medication by using it in a way it was not intended to be used.

Drug or alcohol abuse begins when the occasional curious use or limited social use is overtaken by compulsive uncontrolled misuse harming oneself or others.
Control of drug misuse and abuse is tough when your going through a rehabilitation stage. But try to stay strong cause people will tend to fall back. It's good that you can at least control your misuse of drugs. Keep up the good work. ^_^=b

Drug misuse is when someone takes to much of a drug on purpose/ abuses the drug. If someone abuses a drug to much and takes the same amount over and over again they will need to take more of the drug to feel that affect.
