Assignment Two:
Understanding Addiction
Drug addiction is one of the most pressing health problems facing the United States today. For
this assignment find someone to interview who has had personal experience with drug
addiction. Ideally this is someone who is recovering from an addiction, however, you may also
use a professional who works with addicts or someone who has been close to someone with a
drug addiction problem. Devise a list of questions you will ask this individual to gain a more indepth view of addiction and conduct an interview. Upon completion of the interview analyze
the information you received then write and turn in your assignment via the dropbox in D2L in
word or open office format.
Address the following components for your assignment:
1. What were the factors that led to addiction and how do those correlate with factors
presented in the book as components of addiction?
2. What impact did the drug of choice have on the individual and how did that alter the
individuals’ life? (i.e. could you see reasons why the individual picked a stimulant vs. a
depressant or visa versa? etc.)
3. What factors led to recovery; was there a major milestone or turning point, certain
individuals who helped?
4. Summarize your findings including what new or noteworthy information you gleaned from
the interview, how the information might be used to prevent drug use or to help others and
what you learned overall from this experience.
