Characters are self aware that they are harming themselves by continuing their substance abuses, however, one of the central themes is their inability to prevent further harm to themselves despite being rational, intelligent people.

No- not during the film, and there's no depiction shown. There's a mention of an event from decades prior where one of their young children had caught a cold from the eldest brother (I believe pneumonia) and didn't survive. I'm just leaving a comment here to give people a heads up on the subject matter, though technically there's nothing shown.

Are there abusive parents?

Indirectly- or, at least verbally, and only with adult children. This mostly stems from a parent's substance abuse. The original playwright does an excellent job with nuance regarding this as a disease, and each central character (two parents, two adult children) struggles with this in various forms.

Yes, but with caveats, but first a bit of an explanation as to what this movie actually is.
It's very obscure. I actually discovered it because it's linked to the infamous Crawford/Davis "feud" (from the FX show Feud w Lange & Sarandon). Katharine Hepburn was one of the other nominees that night for her performance in this movie. And I gotta say, had this been released just a year later, she could have been a serious contender for the trophy because my GOD Katherine puts on perhaps the greatest performance of her 6-decades long career.
These arent spoilers, this is all good to know going in, since you'll have some grounding (along with some triggers ill be listing).
The entire movie takes place during one day, spanning from morning to night- that's what the title means.
It was written by the famous playwright Eugene O'neill during his lifespan- and it was released posthumously. Once it was discovered after his death, there was a play adaptation in the works. This particular movie from 1962 was required to adhere to the original text, so it's an incredibly faithful adaptation.
There are 4 central characters: a father, mother, and their 2 adult sons, and it all takes place in and around their family home. It's a very compelling story even with this basic premise. Cinematography is great, and the actors are the best of the best.
The family deals with their various issues surrounding aging, alcoholism, regrets, and in one case, an accidental opiate addiction that manifested decades prior when an irresponsible doctor gave the mother the drug during one of her children's births
The central theme- this is a family with substance abuse issues, coupled with general denial of reality and a tendency to do little white lies in order to keep the peace and not cause further spiraling.
There's a general sense that they've "forgiven" each other for past grievances& resentment, but part of the intricacy is that we, the audience, are not sure if we're hearing the absolute truth. So... .maybe? Maybe not.

Not technically- but one character has an addiction to opiates, and when she leaves the scene(s), there's an implication that she's using in a separate room. There's nothing shown, it's all offscreen and speculative, and tbh I do not remember what her actual method was.

Several characters have illnesses; one has "consumption" (tuberculosis), but hes somewhat dismissive of the doctor's instructions for treating it (quit drinking). It can probably be considered to be eventually terminal.

This is the main theme of the story, along with the unpleasant emotions that feed into these addictions...regret, aging, self-doubt, etc.

Everything takes place in a single location, the family home. There are recollections of past events, which do include medical treatment such as going to the doctor.
