A thin line separates the casual use of alcohol and drugs from the potential fall into a substance abuse disorder (SUD). Inside this white paper, we examine:

• What decades of research can tell us about the science behind substance-abuse and addiction
• How individuals are affected at different ages
• The connection between trauma and substance use disorders

Our goal is to bring greater understanding for someone struggling from addiction in a corporate environment, on a construction site, at school, or home.
