1 -- Psychological factors to explain substance abuse include the use of the substance becomes a habit as a form of self-medication to cope with day-to-day problems and overtime, becomes an addiction. There is no information to suggest that the patient is having difficulty expressing emotions or that the patient has a genetic need for alcohol. The patient is drinking at home after work so there is no information to support the patient is using alcohol to socialize with others.
