Sort of. Preparing to commit suicide by drug overdose, Ben leaves his beloved dog in a car and puts a note on the windshield giving the dog's name and an emergency contact phone number (that of Ben's mother).

Drug abuse, overdosing, etc is discussed frequently. Very brief, dark shot of a man injecting himself. Drugs (in packet form) handled but not used on screen. Smoking/vaping on screen.

A dog is kidnapped which is suspenseful. It does not appear to be mistreated.

There is a strong inference given that a high school teacher had a sexual relationship with a teenager in exchange for drugs.

Ben and his mom "visit one of Ben's former high school teachers whom Holly is shocked to learn used to provide her son with drugs in exchange for sexual favors." (source: Wikipedia) It is never said outright, but it is heavily implied.

Some people might think it's still ambiguous. But technically it's a happy ending. Everyone survives.
