Definition

  • Efficient and standardized measures of substance abuse and dependence are needed to assist in treatment planning, as well as to measure treatment outcomes. When assessing for substance abuse and dependence, it is imperative to employ standardized measures of alcohol and drug use frequency across an extended time, so patterns of use can be better understood.
