Substance use Disorders (SUDs)
|
Disorders that occur during adolescence and include substance dependence and substance abuse, which result from the self-administration of any substance that alters mood, perception, or brain functioning.

|
Substance Abuse
|
In contrast to substance dependence, this diagnosis involves one or more harmful and repeated negative consequences of substance use over the last 12 months. Because substance dependence is the more serious diagnosis, a diagnosis of substance abuse is not given if an individual meets criteria for substance dependence.

Substance Dependence
|
A diagnosis of an adolescent (or adult) who must show a maladaptive pattern of substance use for at least 12 months, accompanied by three or more significant clinical signs of distress-tolerance (the need for increased amounts to achieve intoxication), withdrawal (cognitive and physiological changes upon discontinuation of the drug), and other indices of compulsive use. Substance dependence is also characterized as with or without physiological dependence (eg. with or without evidence of tolerance or withdrawal).
