Drug dependence may occur when a person continues to use drugs— legal or illegal—even though their drug use causes them significant problems.
The relationship between mental health and drug and alcohol use is complex because one can effect the other.
Most drugs are regulated by laws and regulations. Use or misuse of both illegal and legal drugs can have legal consequences.
Visit the Drug Info website for free drug and alcohol information for the community of NSW. Drug Info is a partnership between NSW Ministry of Health and the State Library of NSW.
