Discussion Thread: Important Aspects in the Development of Substance Abuse

Important aspects in the development of substance abuse: In Inaba and Cohen, the authors describe pathways, theories, and factors involved in substance abuse and addiction. What do you believe are the three most important aspects of substance abuse? Why did you choose those three aspects?

Students must support their assertions with at least 2 scholarly citations in 250-word discussion in APA format. Each reply must include at least 1 scholarly citation in APA format. Any sources cited must have been published within the last five years. Acceptable sources include the textbook, the Bible, and scholarly journal articles.

1. It is best to avoid direct quotations from the textbook or any other source (except possibly a short Scripture verse) in any of your threads or replies. These submissions must be in words(paraphrased) so that you clearly demonstrate your mastery of the material. 3. Be conversational, but stay on topic. Do not simply repeat information you find in our textbooks but incorporate your ideas and unique perspectives. Compare what you have to the assignment instructions (for the initial thread and for the reply to posts) to ensure that you have addressed each discussion point. 4. Include citations and references.
