Assignment task: Impact of Substance Abuse Paper
Develop a paper on how substance use impacts a special population (maybe the population with whom you'd like to work). Address reasons why this population may be more likely to abuse substances and the impact of substance abuse on this population.
Briefly describe what evidenced based assessment tools you might use, your theoretical lens preference for treatment, and evidenced based treatment strategies for this population.
Provide a list of potential resources supportive of this population in the local area. Consider face to face, online, community resources, holistic treatment, family services, psychiatric, treatment centers, and cultural supports.
