Evaluating for Substance Use Disorders From reviewing the scenario of Maricella’s case, it is quite evident that she has experienced more than one of the risk factors that would ultimately put her at risk for developing a substance use disorder. Some risk factors that could potentially contribute to any instance of substance abuse are: drug availability, academic failure, lack of parental involvement, poor social skills, gender, race, and family history of substance abuse (Miller, Forcehimes, & Zweben, 2011). These are all risk factors that are present in Maricella’s life; however, there are also protective factors present as well, but there are some that can be implemented also. While Maricella has many risk factors present in her life,
The problems in a modern college town are plentiful, but perhaps none identify and affect as many residents as the issue of substance abuse. Tempe, Arizona is one of the largest college towns in the country, making the spread of illicit drugs among students and residents a “substantial” issue. The rampant use of mind-altering substances has extremely detrimental effects on both the users’ brains and the community in which they live in. This fact is nothing new, and has been noted by the government on both state and federal levels, and precautions have been taken accordingly. Granting this, these precautions tend to create only further problems for both the users of the drug and the community; landing young adults with criminal records, while

Question #1: Describe the various types of substance abuse programs in prisons. Substance abuse programs are “programs for offenders to reduce their likelihood of further abuse of alcohol or drugs” (Seiter, 2011, p. 239). Substance abuse is one of the ongoing issues in the United States prison system. In fact, approximately 53 percent of state prison inmate population and 45 percent of federal prison inmate population are substance abusers. In a more striking statistic, the number of female prisoners, who are substance abusers, is even higher than males.
I am writing this letter to address a major problem affecting people all over the United States, Drug abuse. Drug abuse “ is the inappropriate use of substances- including alcohol, prescription medication, or illegal drugs – for purposes such as pleasure, to feel or perform better in certain situations, or to change one’s perception of reality.” https://luxury.rehabs.com/drug-abuse/#abusevsaddiction With exploiting these substances your brain starts to behave differently.

What they seem to lack is a drug abuse definition they can use as a basis to understand exactly that with which they are dealing. The Formal Drug Abuse Definition Before we start breaking down exactly how drug abuse is affecting your life, a formal drug abuse definition seems in order.
Also, community support groups assist in encouraging and reminding an individual/s of the consequences of alcohol and other drugs and the benefits of abstinence and sobriety of substance abuse. “Surviving normal and unexpected traumatic events require human beings to rely on community connections and family support, so people can grow stronger through adversity, rather than being overwhelmed from the issues affecting homeostasis” (Landau, 2010, pg. 522). Nevertheless, community resources are a total supportive measure with substance abuse with the goal to incorporate harm reduction and minimize direct/indirect effects of substance use.
