This leaflet examines alcohol and other drug abuse prevention for individuals with traumatic brain injury. The characteristics and incidence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) are noted. The implications of alcohol and other drug use are discussed, emphasizing that TBI is often related to lifestyles where alcohol and other drug abuse and risk taking are common, and that if alcohol or other drug use predates the disability, the problems will likely continue following rehabilitation. The guide includes points to stress in discussing the effects of drug use with a person with TBI. Suggestions are offered to bring about positive interactions, and six myths commonly held about TBI are dispelled with factual information. Five organizational resources and five printed resources are listed as sources of more information. (JDD)
