Widely differing definitions of drug abuse are used in public health, medical and criminal justice contexts.

In some cases criminal or anti-social behavior occurs when the person is under the influence of a drug, and long term personality changes in individuals may occur as well.

In addition to possible physical, social, and psychological harm, use of some drugs may also lead to criminal penalties, although these vary widely depending on the local jurisdiction.

Drug rehabilitation (often drug rehab or just rehab) is a term for the processes of medical or psychotherapeutic treatment, for dependency on psychoactive substances such as alcohol, prescription drugs, and street drugs such as cocaine, heroin or amphetamines.

Treatment includes medication for depression or other disorders, counseling by experts and sharing of experience with other addicts.

Some rehab centers include meditation and spiritual wisdom in the treatment process.

A few centers also treat gambling with the same techniques as are used in drug rehabilitation.
