Abstract
En 中文
The directors of the National Institute on Drug Abuse and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism have proposed new efforts to enable earlier identification and intervention for harmful substance use and its consequences. As editors of The ASAM Principles of Addiction Medicine, we fully support this goal. The word preaddiction has been suggested as a diagnostic label to describe individuals who would be targeted for early intervention. In this commentary, we offer that unhealthy substance use would be a better descriptor than preaddiction and review several potential barriers to be addressed in order to maximize the impact of introducing this new paradigm.
