For some youth and adults, the number of risk factors in their lives places them at higher risk for substance abuse. For example, an individual may have a family history of substance abuse, live in an at-risk community, and have an anger problem. A child may experience academic failure, associate with the wrong peer group and begin experimentation with substances. A family history of substance abuse is the single most serious risk factor for substance abuse. In families, substance abuse is also associated with child abuse.
Intervention programs are designed specifically for these at-risk individuals and families to provide more in depth help. Intervention programs include individual and small group counseling and may be longer in duration
