illness and substance abuse often go hand

The use,misuse,and abuse of drugs are the result of
various factors.Surrounding a person.

These factors either increase or decrease the

possibility of a person drugs.

Risk factors are those influences which increase the

chances of using, misusing and abusing drugs

Protective Factors are those influence which

decrease the chances of using,misusing and abusing
drugs.
 Individual Substance Abuse Prevention involves numerous amounts of different
sessions depending on the individual to help cease or reduce the use of
substances. Substances typically targeted by preventive efforts include alcohol
(including binge drinking, drunkenness and driving under the influence), tobacco
(including cigarettes and various forms of smokeless tobacco) and inhalants.
Prevention programs can strengthen protective factors among young
children by teaching parents better family communication skills,
appropriate discipline styles, firm, and consistent rule
enforcement, and other family management approaches. Research
shows that the measures taken within family prevention has been
shown to reduce the risk of substance abuse.
Prevention programs work at the community level
with civic, religious, law enforcement, and other
government organizations to enhance anti-drug
norms. Naloxone is the standard opioid overdose
reversal agent. Safe injection sites that provide a
hygienic space supervised by licensed healthcare
professionals.
 There are two main factors that contribute to the likelihood of developing a substance use
disorder. Environmental factors in an individual's adolescence include: child abuse, exposure to
substances, lack of supervision, and peer pressure. Internal factors are self-esteem, poor social
skills, stress, attitudes about drugs, mental disorder and many others. Most youths do not
progress towards regular, heavy substance use after experimentation. When drug use begins at
an early age, there is a greater possibility for addiction to occur. Youths from certain
demographics are also at higher risk for addiction. These groups include those suffering from a
mental illness and who comes from a family history of addiction.
There are a number of community-based prevention programs and
classes that aim to educate children and families about the
harms of substance use. Schools began introducing substance use
oriented classes for their students in grades as low as preschool.
Some programs may begin by allowing students to be interactive
and learn skills such as how to refuse drugs.
 There are three types of prevention when dealing with
substance use. Primary use involves ceasing the result of
substances being used before it happens. Primordial
prevention involves preventing the development of risk
factors (e.g., depression). Tertiary prevention involves an
individual having to receive treatment such as rehab or
intensive outpatient therapy.
