I would emphasize being treated for an underlying psychological issue if you have suspicion you might have one. When you're depressed, daily drug use starts to look like a worthwhile alternative. Much drug use is self-medication for another issue, and obtaining illegal drugs is typically far simpler and sometimes cheaper than navigating our convoluted health care system. And tragically, the less resources you have available, the more vulnerable you are and the harder it is to get properly treated at all.

"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." --Abraham Lincoln
