Chapter 1: Why Worry About Substance Misuse or Substance Use Disorders (SUDs)?
PURPOSE AND PERSPECTIVE OF THE CHAPTER
The purpose of this chapter is to give students an overview of the problem of Substance Use Disorders
(SUDs). The chapter focuses on the direct and indirect impact of SUDs on society, including the
economic impact. It also explains the scope of the problem of SUDs and discusses statistics on the use of
various substances. Next, the chapter looks more extensively at the cost of chemical misuse and SUDs,
using specific data on the cost of alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use. Finally, the chapter explores the
lack of adequate preparation for healthcare workers dealing with people with substance use disorders and
how more training is needed.
