Alcoholism and drug addiction are major contributing factors in chronic and infectious diseases, hospital emergency room visits, infant mortality rates, violence and crime, and auto fatalities. The damage to the individual, their families, and society at large is immeasurable. Science defines addiction as a chronic disease and yet, for too long we have treated it as a moral failing rather than a public health problem. The use of drugs and alcohol is a complex phenomenon and encompasses a continuum of behaviors from occasional use to chronic addiction, with varying degrees of personal and social harm. Harm reduction is a comprehensive approach to reducing individual and social harms associated with the misuse of drugs and alcohol. Harm reduction begins with prevention, can be integrated into abstinence-based substance abuse treatment, and improves patient retention in order to promote sustained remission. This course presents the basic principles of harm reduction and provides evidenced-based strategies to reduce the harms associated with problematic substance use.
