Abstract: The National Institute of Drug Abuse is a leader in the field of alcohol and other drug treatment regarding the effects drugs have on the human brain. Notably this Federal Agency has dedicated entire training modules to educate the public on how drugs impact the brain. Significant effects include but are not limited to cerebral cortex and limbic regions areas responsible for cognition, problem solving, memory, emotional processing, and rewards [1]. These two areas represent significant areas of function necessary to healthy functioning and of equal importance active participation in treatment for substance use disorder. NIDA’s research indicates that the lasting effective or impairment to the brain can take up to 12 months before normal functioning is restored.
