The impact of systems on substance use
Substance use and abuse is influenced by a variety of biological, psychological, and social factors, resulting in the adoption of the biopsychosocial model as a common approach to substance abuse intervention.
Prepare a response in which you address the following:
- From your perspective, does any one of these domains (biological, psychological, or social) play a dominant role in substance use?
- How will your perspective influence your work with clients?
Cite at least once source of current research related to your response. Your sources should be credible, professional publications (such as your textbooks or journal articles that can be accessed via the Alliant electronic journal database, the American Counseling Association practice briefs website -- http://www.counseling.org/knowledge-center/practic... -- or GoogleScholar).
