Drug Use Continuum
Non-use
Never used a particular drug.
Experimental use
Has tried a substance once or several times. Use is motivated by curiosity about the drug effect, and peer influence.
Occasional use
Use is infrequent and irregular, usually confined to special occasions (holidays, birthdays, etc.) or when opportunities present themselves directly. Availability, accessibility and affordability influence use.
Regular use
Use has a predictable pattern, which may entail frequent or infrequent use. The user actively seeks to experience the drug effect, or to participate in the drug taking activities of the peer group. Usually he or she feels in control of the drug use (e.g., he or she can take it or leave it).
Dependence use
Use is regular and predictable and usually frequent. The user experiences a physiological and/or psychological need for the drug. He or she feels out of control vis-à-vis its use, and will continue to use despite adverse consequences. Drugs are often used alone and daily activities may be planned around drug use.
