Drug use is found among all ages, genders, races, socioeconomic statuses, educational levels, and cultures. Throughout the course, you will follow the story of Aaliyah where you will apply the concepts you learn. In this module, you will meet Aaliyah and get to know her current situation
Aaliyah is a 25 year old, single, Caucasian woman, who lives in an apartment with a friend. She moved out of her parents’ house at 18, after completing high school, to remove herself from her father’s alcohol use. Aaliyah smokes cigarettes and drinks alcohol occasionally.
She is dissatisfied with her current job. She works full time as an administrative assistant at a contracting company, but she is ready for a career change. Aaliyah has decided to return to school to pursue a degree in criminal justice. She will be working and taking classes at the same time, fitting her school schedule around her work schedule. During her first session at school Aaliyah notices she has been having difficulty staying awake to complete her schoolwork at night after a full workday. She does not want her grades to fall as her education is very important to her. However, she cannot afford to reduce her work hours.
Her roommate makes coffee at night to help her stay awake. Soon, Aaliyah is drinking three or more cups of coffee at night to help her stay awake to complete her schoolwork.
Identify and analyze in two pages Aaliyah’s risk and protective factors for drug use. Describe at least two factors for each.
Discuss at least one thing not mentioned in the case study that could be an additional risk factor or protective factor for Aaliyah.
Explain what these risk and protective factors imply for future substance use.

Treatment programs cannot always be 100% effective, and many substance abusers relapse into drug abuse after days, months, or even years of sobriety. With the marginal success of treatment programs, it is even more important that people never start using drugs. As such, prevention strategies are of utmost importance.
THerefore, I want you to research methods of increasing awareness about substance abuse and dependence by developing a PowerPoint presentation including the following:
Identify and describe two prevention strategies.
Explain ways of determining whether loved ones have a problem with drugs using the DSM-IV-TR characteristics of substance abuse and dependence.
Address the effectiveness of current treatment strategies in the United States.
Explain polypharmacology
Address the possible treatment options and treatment difficulties for someone who is dependent on two substances.
