Substance Use Spectrum

Substance use is different for everyone and can be viewed on a spectrum with varying stages of benefits and harms. The stages of this spectrum are: Non-use (abstinence), beneficial use, lower-risk use, higher-risk use, addiction (substance use disorder). A person may move back and forth between the stages over time.
