Abstract
Substance use disorders (SUDs) have long been described as chronic and progressive conditions. Earlier initiation of substance use has been identified as a risk factor which increases the likelihood of more serious problems with substance abuse and addiction. The consequences of SUDs can include interpersonal difficulties, interference with work or school, legal problems, and even death. Rarely is only the individual affected by impairment resulting from SUDs. Family, friends, and colleagues are frequently drawn into the circle of difficulties because they depend on the individual or because they desire to help.
