Abstract
Disappointing success rates and high frequencies of relapse have generated widespread suggestions that drug use be treated early, before use patterns solidify (Fishman, Stanton, & Rosman, 1982; Hubbard, Cavanaugh, Craddock, & Rachal, 1985; Schuster, 1986). Highly intractable drug use usually takes years to develop, beginning with occasional experimentation, moving to periodic and then almost daily use. Once the problem reaches proportions where it cannot be ignored by the school or work site, family, or society, it is extremely difficult to treat. If it could be treated in the earlier stages, it might be more effectively curbed.
