A great initiative to prepare the FORCE to fight the continuously growing ratio of every age individual into SUDs especially among youngsters which has developed serious concerns in Academia, Clinicians, Parents, Organisations and community as it has a huge cost.
For treatment to be effective, family and environmental forces have great impact to the wellbeing of the patient. SUD Professionals must take into consideration that the contributions of the family and care givers are very paramount to the recovery of the patient.
