Week 5 – Assignment: Assess the Need for an Intervention for an Adult Substance Use Problem
Intervention programs for substance use and addictions are numerous. Evidence-based programs are listed on a government website sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA), a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
For your assignment, this week, examine your own community and identify an adult substance use problem. If possible, narrow your selection to a particular gender, age, or ethnic group, and then browse SAMHSAs website and choose an intervention that would be appropriate for your community.
Prepare a brochure that explains why your community needs this type of program, the resources needed to implement it, and the evidence that supports the implementation of this intervention. Provide examples from your research and current events or news (if applicable) to support your findings.
Support your assignment with at least three scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including seminal articles, may be included.
Length: 3-4 pages, not including title and reference pages your assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic.
