Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: Addiction and substance abuse were previously thought to be caused by behaviors only. However, research has shown that changes in neurochemistry are the basis for the behavior observed in the addictive process. Behavior and cognitive disorders, as well as emotional states, do not result in behavior observed in the addictive process.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: While many may use the terms substance use disorder and addiction interchangeably, these concepts vary. Substance use disorder is a diagnostic term used to describe the continued use of a substance without regard to negative consequence, including physiological and psychological symptoms. Addiction refers to an active disease state. Neither substance use disorder nor addiction refers to chemical dependency only.
