INTERNAL
- Internal characteristics of substance abuse include a feeling of having to use your drug regularly, ensuring you always have access to the drug, having difficulty when trying to stop taking the drug, and feeling like you need the drug to help you with problems, according to the Mayo Clinic. In addition, you may be having relationship trouble, neglect your responsibilities, make dangerous decisions and forgo activities you used to enjoy, according to the Helpguide website. Regardless of the substance, the internal characteristics of substance abuse are often similar, and as they increase, so does the likelihood of substance abuse becoming an addiction, notes the Helpguide website.
