Substance Dependence
A maladaptive pattern of substance use, leading to clinically significant impairment or distress, as manifested by three (or more) of the following, occurring at any time in the same 12-month period:
(1) tolerance, as defined by either of the following:
(a) a need for markedly increased amounts of the substance to achieve intoxication or desired effect
(b) markedly diminished effect with continued use of the same amount of the substance

(2) withdrawal, as manifested by either of the following:
(a) the characteristic withdrawal syndrome for the substance (refer to Criteria A and B of the criteria sets for Withdrawal from the specific substances)
(b) the same (or a closely related) substance is taken to relieve or avoid withdrawal symptoms

(3) the substance is often taken in larger amounts or over a longer period than was intended
(4) there is a persistent desire or unsuccessful efforts to cut down or control substance use
(5) a great deal of time is spent in activities necessary to obtain the substance (e.g., visiting multiple doctors or driving long distances), use the substance (e.g., chain-smoking), or recover from its effects
(6) important social, occupational, or recreational activities are given up or reduced because of substance use
(7) the substance use is continued despite knowledge of having a persistent or recurrent physical or psychological problem that is likely to have been caused or exacerbated by the substance (e.g., current cocaine use despite recognition of cocaine-induced depression, or continued drinking despite recognition that an ulcer was made worse by alcohol consumption)

(2) recurrent substance use in situations in which it is physically hazardous (e.g., driving an automobile or operating a machine when impaired by substance use)
(3) recurrent substance-related legal problems (e.g., arrests for substance-related disorderly conduct)

Polysubstance Dependence
This diagnosis is reserved for behavior during the same 12-month period in which the person was repeatedly using at least three groups of substances (not including caffeine and nicotine), but no single substance predominated. Further, during this period, the Dependence criteria were met for substances as a group but not for any specific substance. For example, a diagnosis of Polysubstance Dependence would apply to an individual who, during the same 12-month period, missed work because of his heavy use of alcohol, continued to use cocaine despite experiencing severe depressions after nights of heavy consumption, and was repeatedly unable to stay within his self-imposed limits regarding his use of codeine. In this instance, although the problems associated with the use of any one substance were not pervasive enough to justify a diagnosis of Dependence, his overall use of substances significantly impaired his functioning and thus warranted a diagnosis of Dependence on the substances as a group. Such a pattern might be observed, for example, in a setting where substance use was highly prevalent but where the drugs of choice changed frequently. For those situations in which there is a pattern of problems associated with multiple drugs and the criteria are met for more than one specific Substance-Related Disorder (e.g., Cocaine Dependence, Alcohol Dependence, and Cannabis Dependence), each diagnosis should be made.
