Substance Use Disorders have a major impact on individuals, families, communities and our nation. The impact on families and loved ones is significant and sometimes overlooked. That's why I recommend Daley and Douaihy's book, A Family Guide to Coping with Substance Use Disorders, for everyone with an interest in better understanding SUD and how to help families affected by SUD.
