Well when you abuse a substance, that means you’re not using it the way it is ment to be used (i.e. taking too much, addiction to it, etc..) Hospitals usually put an overdose with an attempted suicide if that was the intention of the overdose, but the individual will usually go through close evaluatation(s) first.
