When a person has a substance-use disorder, he or she continues to use a substance even though many problems occur as a result. Some people, both adults and children, can develop problems with drugs and alcohol. Their dependence can affect their quality of life, health, and relationships. Fortunately, there are ways to treat the disorder and get better. The Mental Illnesses and Disorders series lets readers know they are not alone, helping them make sense of commonly experienced problems as well as more specific challenges. Each book in the series, including Drug and Alcohol Dependence, guides readers through the challenges faced by individuals with mental illnesses and disorders, and provides an inclusive approach to understanding their causes, symptoms, and treatment.
