What Are Some of the Characteristics of Some Drug/alcohol Abusers?

Question by OMG Becky: What are some of the characteristics of some drug/alcohol abusers?
I recently accepted a job in a in-patient drug & rehabilitation center. This is one population I have never dealt with, but I look forward to it.
