Answer 1

There are many factors which promote substance abusers and help in treatment of or recovery of such substance abuse.

For example e.g. let us take western culture, here a independence is given right from. An early age, they consider but ok when their teenage boy or girl has a crush, or can go for an overnight picnics without parents. Such things are very much restricted in India and so much of freedom is also not given to teenagers. Hence when they have more privacy and more freedom they immediately turn to alcohol trying, or substance abuse. They have also many NGOs who help them getting recovered from the same.

Indian culture since all these things are prohibited one may not even think of it or may try out of curiosity, there is also lot of taboo associated with the same hence getting a treatment is also not considered that positive in society. Ofcourse people are changing they are welcoming such people back in society who have recovered.

In Islamic culture alcohol is prohibited, hence there iaess question of alcohol abuse in Muslim regions.
