Extractions: campus.umr.edu Substance abuse, although less common at UMR than at many colleges, presents problems on this campus. The emphasis here is on alcohol use and abuse (there is a difference!). However, if you or a friend are having problems with a drug other than alcohol, please seek assistance right away. If your life is not yet badly out of control, this is a good time to put it in better shape before that happens. And if it is out of control, putting off action is probably not going to make things better. These principles are equally applicable, of course, if your drug is alcohol. And what about alcohol? Alcohol is the most commonly abused drug in the United States and perhaps not coincidentally, it is also the most socially acceptable to use. Most people use alcohol with little difficulty, although a significant minority (10-20%) of drinkers experience fairly serious problems managing their use. And most people who drink experience at least some difficulty with overuse at some point in their lives. Among college educated people, the most frequent time for this to happen is while they are attending collegesome of the "out-of-class learning experience." Before going further it may help to clarify some possible misconceptions about alcohol use.

Extractions: Text Only Site BASIC INTERVENTION STRATEGIES FOR THE UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY What are the facts about student Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) Use and Abuse at MSU? 54%, or (more than half) of MSU students do not binge drink, while 46% do report binge drinking. The definition of binge drinking is the consumption of 5 or more drinks at one sitting. 30% of MSU students report experiencing at least one alcohol related memory loss (blackout) in the last year. 35% of MSU students report that they have missed at least one class in the last year due to alcohol use. 18% of MSU students believe that they have performed poorly on a test in the last year due to alcohol use. 55% of MSU students have never used marijuana or any drug other than alcohol. 22% (approximately 6,000) of MSU students report that they would prefer not to have alcohol available at parties they attend. * Reference: CORE Survey, 1996. If You Are Concerned: If you are a concerned student, residence hall staff member, professor, teaching assistant, academic advisor, coach, athletic trainer, teammate, or fraternity/sorority member, your role establishes you as someone who cares about and contributes to the success of every student. If you suspect that a student is being negatively affected by AOD abuse, it is the active involvement of concerned others who take action on behalf of the person who is trapped in the vicious cycle of AOD abuse that begins the process of lifestyle change. The involvement of concerned others is commonly referred to as an Intervention.
Extractions: Welcome to Athealth.com's Professional Interview Series! We are pleased to bring you an interview with Dr. Howard A. Liddle who answers questions about the "state of the science" of adolescent substance abuse research and talks about the practical aspects of assessing and treating adolescent substance abuse. The interview includes a brief clinical vignette that underscores treatment and intervention strategies. Athealth.com Welcome Dr. Liddle. I would like to start by inviting you to talk about the most important recent developments in the area of adolescent substance abuse research and treatment. Dr. Liddle : This is a very important question with historical and contemporary overtones; there are several key issues to consider here. First and foremost, adolescent substance abuse has become a bona fide clinical specialty in its own right, with its own theory, basic and applied research, practice guidelines, and policy studies. Clinical work in the field is grounded in the knowledge of adolescent development. Today's "state of the art" treatments are not step-down adult treatments applied to teens. Rather, they are tailored to the particulars, complexities, and multiple systems that make up the teen's ecology. Additionally, there are many opportunities for research of all kinds through federal funding agencies, foundations, and state and local agencies. The existence of research centers is a testimony to the specialty's evolution. Professional and scientific organizations and many scientific publications focus on the problems, needs, and policies pertaining to adolescence. I believe we are witnessing the beginning of a renaissance period in the history of the adolescent treatment specialty.

These are stressful times for all and may be particularly difficult times for people who are more vulnerable to substance abuse or may be recovering from an addiction. For example, we know that stress is one of the most powerful triggers for relapse in addicted individuals, even after long periods of abstinence. NIDA-supported ethnographers are already reporting increases in street sales of various drugs. Given that individuals may turn to drugs to cope with life's stressors, it is more important than ever that NIDA supports a comprehensive research portfolio that better informs how we prevent and treat drug abuse and addiction.
