The question is incomplete as the options for the answers have not been provided. So, I am giving a general answer.
The most common signs and symptoms of substance abuse is sleeplessness, changes in appetite, inconsistent moods, physical changes like bloodshot eyes, nosebleeds, no interest in personal grooming, impaired coordination, etc.
When the signs of withdrawal show in, it is advised that a person keeps himself busy to avoid thinking about it. A person can divert themselves by indulging themselves in extra-curricular activities, putting more effort at work and school, taking up new jobs, being more attentive to work, studies and personal grooming and health. The friends and family are also advised to be supportive by encouraging them to follow the activities.

Your cousin wants to quit using prescription drugs. She is under the care of a doctor, so which of the following can best improve her chances at success?
Make meetings with a support group a priority, and meet new people with shared interests
Last year, Kylee moved to a new town, got hooked on heroin, and had some medical scares that made her realize she wants to quit her substance abuse for good. Her parents have offered to help financially, but they're upset with things that she's done and said they don't want to see her again until she's been clean for at least one year. What is the best treatment option for Kylee?
(NOT) An outpatient program that allows her to continue with her current living and work situation without much disruption
