Not really, but we find out late in the game that Clara and Mia (the conjoined twins from the alternate reality) were actually real girls who suffered horrific medical abuse. When Fran meets them in the alternate reality, they can be quite cruel to her.

Alchohol isn't abused. There is one occasion that I recall where an npc is drunk, but it's not abuse. The game does revolve around heavy substance abuse, but it's pills, not alchohol.

Early in the game a child in the ward is shown with a looming shadow over her thrusting against her. She was sexually assaulted so bad she almost died & now suffers from mental health issues. You can also see bloody handprints over her crotch and chest.

In episode 1 after Fran falls down the vent and walks up the stairs, there are two doors on the right (the room with the horse). If you look trough the right door window there is a boy lying on the ground with puke next to his head.
In episode 2 when you meet Antonio the greatest and he tells you his beetlepig ate your cat, there's a dialogue option that says "make it vomit", it won't no matter what you option you choose
