The definition of drug abuse is the habitual use of drugs to alter mood, emotions or state of consciousness. Some of the drugs that are abused most often are opiates like oxycontin, marijuana, cocaine, heroin, alcohol, nicotine, barbituates (sleeping pills), MDMA, ecstasy and steroids. Eventually drug abuse can lead to organ damage, addiction and other medical issues.
