C. withdrawal problems
Substance abuse often becomes evident when the patient enters withdrawal, especially in a controlled environment like a hospital where access to substances is restricted.

D. cardiac problems
Some drugs can affect the heart, but cardiac issues alone do not necessarily point to substance abuse.
