Substance Use/Addiction
Substance Use Disorder exists on a scale, much like Major Depressive Disorder. The scale consists of different levels (Mild, Moderate, and Severe) Use Disorders. The main determining factor for severity is the level of negative impact or disabling evidence in the person’s life. Some goals of treatment for a substance use disorder are to strengthen the person’s self-concept, acknowledge the impairments, take ownership of high-risk behaviors, and aid in relapse prevention.
