This. The Substance Abuse board is a little bit superfluous, and I think more people would benefit if substance-abuse threads were put where more people would see them, like (as you said) Mental Health, because Substance Abuse doesn't get many visitors. I've been abusing pills on and off for almost a year and for a while there I'd forgotten the board even existed.
