Thirty percent of the high risk population will become addicted to substances which are the primary diagnosis and or behaviors which are the secondary diagnosis. Examples are: chemical dependency-problem gambling, chemical dependency-shop lifting and chemical dependency-out of control spending.

No one wants to be remembered by their family as an alcoholic or problem drinker, drug addict- abuser of (prescription or illicit drugs), or the family member who hit financial rock bottom.
