This article examines the prevalence of substance use disorders in the United States and

the training that should be required for psychologists and counselors. The article concluded that

about 50% of individuals with substance use disorder will also experience another mental health

disorder which suggests that most psychologists and counselors will encounter clients with a

substance use disorder. This article is of relevance because it supports the fact that psychologists

and counselors need enhanced training in substance use disorders so that they are able to treat

and counsel their clients to the best of their ability and it provides potential methods for

enhancing trainings on the disorder.

This article reviews children who experienced maltreatment during their childhood and

how they are more at risk to develop a substance use disorder in adolescence and adulthood. The

article reviews biological processes such as neuroendocrine mechanisms and neurobiological

pathways that may underlie maltreatment risk. Understanding the processes that lead to the

development of a substance use disorder is important for designing effective prevention and

intervention programs. This article review is of relevance to my current research because it

examines the different processes that may lead to the development of a substance use disorder

and highlights the different prevention programs.

The present study examined whether maltreatment in early childhood had any

associations among substance use in adults. The study also examined whether early childhood

maltreatment had any associations with later sexual behavior. The study included 134

participants who were substance dependent. They were asked to take an addiction screening test

and state their drug of choice. The study concluded that physical and sexual abuse in early

childhood was very common among adults who were dependent on a substance. This article is

of relevance because it shows an association between maltreatment in childhood and the

development of a substance use disorder in adulthood.

This article reviews adolescent substance use and discusses how it is a national public

health crisis. It talks about the different types of substances adolescents use including nicotine,

alcohol, and marijuana. Using these substances during adolescence can have harmful effects on
an individual’s brain development with impairments that can go on into adulthood. This article

review is of relevance to my research because it discusses the harmful effects that substance

abuse has on brain development, especially during adolescence.

This article reviewed the importance of evidence-based methods of screening for

individuals with a substance use disorder. Screening for substance use is an important aspect of

treatment to improve an individual’s mental health. The article stated that screening, brief

intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) is an evidence-based practice that provides

counselors with skills to provide early intervention when necessary. This particular study used

87 students in mental health counseling, clinical counseling, and school psychology graduate

programs to investigate whether the SBIRT training program would be beneficial. The study

concluded that the students were satisfied with the training and found it to be very helpful and

useful. This study is of relevance to my research because it supports evidence-based methods of

training for counselors who may encounter individuals with substance use disorders.

 This article investigates substance abuse and drug addiction and the risk factors

associated with the development of a substance abuse disorder. The article states that there is

sufficient evidence that points to the influence of early experiences in childhood such as neglect

and maltreatment that may lead to the development of drug abuse in adulthood. This article

considers drug abuse a developmental disorder and discusses the genetic and neurobiological

factors that may lead to the development of a substance use disorder. This article is relevant to

my research in that it supports substance abuse as a developmental disorder.

The author of this article discusses substance use disorders and how they are a public

health problem affecting millions of Americans, however there are few health care resources for

those suffering from this disorder. This article mentions that health care providers are not

educated enough on substance use disorders but they should be so they are able to provide the

best patient care. The authors of the article used Blooms taxonomy of cognitive, affective, and

psychomotor learning domains as a framework to create opportunities for students to learn more

about substance use disorders. This is of relevance to my current research because it supports

the aspect that counselors should be provided more education on substance abuse to better help

their patients/clients.

Subsequent to the Experience of Physical Abuse and Psychological Distress during

Childhood. WIMJ Open, 2(1), 7–10. https://doi.org/10.7727/wimjopen.2014.266

The present study examines the relationship between physical abuse and psychological

distress in childhood with substance abuse during adulthood. The study used a questionnaire to

collect data from college students about their substance use patterns as well as their exposure to

physical abuse during childhood. The author also asked the participants to rate their level of

psychological distress. The study found that drug abuse was significantly associated with being

physically abused as a child. This information is relevant to my current research because it

provides counselors with knowledge on what groups to target anti-drug use interventions.

Effectiveness. Springer Publishing Company.

This book reviews all the possible treatment options for individuals who struggle with a

substance abuse disorder. The book discusses different approaches ranging from very intensive

practices to very expensive practices. It also examines treatment approaches from medicine,

psychology, sociology, as well as social work. The book examines the effectiveness of

treatments and discusses treatment goals also. It is noted as a good resource for mental health

counselors and other health professionals who may encounter patients with a substance use

disorder. This book is relevant to my research in that it focuses a lot on the different treatments

that are available for clients with a substance use disorder and provides interventions for

treatment programs.

https://doi.org/10.1111/cfs.12691

The present study investigated the effects of deviant peer affiliation on the association

with child maltreatment and adolescent substance abuse. The experimenter examined the

different types of maltreatment the child experienced during childhood and the different

substances the participants used. Substances included alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana. The

study concluded that adolescents that had been emotionally abused during childhood were

associated with higher levels of adolescent substance abuse, however no particular type of

maltreatment was specifically associated with substance use. This study is of relevance to my

research because it not only looks at maltreatment in childhood as a risk factor for substance

abuse, but also examines the effects of peers.
