Alcohol Intervention

Yesterday in class we started our discussion on substance abuse and substance dependence. We watched a documentary on Lawrence, who was an alcoholic and later died in the episode. To start our unit off we defined some key terms that we will use throughout the chapter. Please define the following terms and give examples from Lawrence's life.

Substance dependent
Codependent
Trigger
Withdraw
Tolerance


*To receive full credit you must define each term and give an example.(It does not have to be the exact definition I gave you. Shorten them up if you can.) *

What would you do?

What is Fatal Familial Insomnia? What are some of the symptoms of the disease, how long can it go undetected, and is it genetic? If you had the disease would you want to find out that you had it or would you not? Make sure you tell me why!!!!
