Q

Explains addiction as a consequence of personal choice
Places full responsibility on the users
Addictive behavior is influenced by preexisting values. Thus society should attempt to instill values that are incompatible with addiction and substance abusing behaviors

Q

Addiction counselors may carry internalized biases that reflect moral model attitudes and should work to increase their awareness so that they do not influence their work with clients.
Whereas public sensitivity to the struggles of addicted people has increased, many challenges and barriers continue to prevent some from accessing needed treatment

Co-occurring Disorders (COD)

A

Q

(a) The two co-occur not necessarily because one causes the other, but because they both share similar risk factors (e.g., trauma, genetic vulnerability, stress)

(b) The two may share similar symptoms and, therefore, are wrongly diagnosed as COD

(c) Addiction is secondary to a psychiatric disorder (self-medication).

(d) Psychopathology or a psychiatric disorder is secondary to addiction (a psychiatric disorder is induced by the pharmacologic or psychological effects of alcohol or drugs).

(e) The “hybrid model”
An initially secondary disorder may later become a primary disorder.

Q

Psychopathology or a Psychiatric Disorder is Secondary to Addiction (COD)

A

A long-term six-time wave study: chronic concurrent use of cigarette, alcohol, and marijuana was related to a greater likelihood of occurrence of Antisocial Personality Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder later in adulthood.

Caspi and colleagues: adolescent-onset cannabis use may trigger adult schizophreniform disorder if the person possesses certain genes.

Q

Among individuals who had nicotine dependence, alcohol dependence, or cannabis use disorder at baseline and who were interviewed again at the 3-year-post baseline, Axis I disorders did not play a strong role regarding persistent substance use disorder (SUD); rather, ASPD, borderline personality disorder (BPD), and schizotypal personality disorder are strongly and consistently associated with persistent SUD (Hasin et al., 2011). (Note: the DSM-5 no longer uses the multiaxial system)

A 10-year prospective study found that ASPD is one major predictor for sustained opiate use and stimulant use (Lauritzen & Nordfjaern, 2018).

Q

William Glasser’s “ Weak” Model
“Not Sufficient Love and Worth?”

A

Each choice is a pain-reducing step:

The first choice of “the weak”: Giving up

The second choice of “the weak”: The symptoms

The third choice of “the weak”: Negative addiction

34
Q

The first choice of “the weak”
Giving Up –

A

They give up because it hurts more to keep trying when the effort always fails.

We quit because the pain of attempting to find happiness and not finding it hurts much more than giving up.

35
Q

“Impulsive”
“Immediate gratification”
“Low frustration tolerance”
“Avoidance”
“Lack of problem solving skills”

*resilience
*life skills
*long-term goal

A

The first choice of “the weak”
Giving Up –

36
Q

The second choice of “the weak”: To become depressed

A

For him the first choice in dealing with life’s problems—go give up—is no longer satisfactory; the pain has returned and in a further attempt to reduce his suffering he has made one of the common second choices—to become depressed (or to act out, to become psychotic, psychosomatic . . .)

The second choice is less painful than the first choice.

37
Q

The third choice of “the weak”: Negative addiction

A

Negative addiction is the third, and in terms of pain, essentially successful choice in the series of choices made by people who are unable to find sufficient love and worth.

Not only is the pain gone but it is replaced by an intense pleasure that the person has never before experienced.

38
Q

Neurobiological Processes

A
  • Impulsivity (early stages)
  • Compulsivity (later stages)
  • Habit
46
Q
  • Addiction is a treatable, chronic medical disease
    involving complex interactions among brain
    circuits, genetics, the environment, and an
    individual’s life experiences.
  • People with addiction use substance or engage in
    behaviors that become compulsive and often
    continue despite harmful consequences.
  • Prevention efforts and treatment approaches for
    addiction are generally as successful as those for
    other chronic diseases.

ASAM’s Definition of Addiction

47
Q

Occurs when a user discontinues drug
administration and may include several
symptoms of pain and dysphoria, including
vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, headache,
depression, irritability, anxiety, stomach
cramps.
Are symptoms of…

A

Withdrawal

48
Q

The need to increase the dosage of a drug to
produce the same effect—the user becomes
increasingly insensitive to the drug’s effects.
Are symptoms of…

A

Tolerance

49
Q
  • Are typically associated with
    consuming excessive amounts of alcohol
    that can lead to impaired memory of events
    that transpired while intoxicated.
  • They can occur in anyone who drinks
    alcohol, no matter their age or level of
    experience with drinking.
A

Blackouts (Alcohol-Induced)

50
Q

Blackouts (2 types)

A
  • Brownouts (Grayouts): most common type, fragmentary blackout, characterized by spotty memories of events.
    • “En bloc” blackout is complete amnesia.
51
Q

Blackouts vs. Passing out.

A

Passing out means
either falling asleep or losing consciousness.
During a blackout, a person is still awake but their brain is not creating new memories. Depending on how much the person drank, it is possible to transition from having a blackout to passing out.

52
Q

What is the Synergistic Effect?

A

With respect to drug effects, when a
combination of two or more drugs are
taken, the effects will be multiplicative,
rather than simply additive.

53
Q

Drug Effects May be Determined by:

A
  • Pharmacological properties
  • Age
  • Gender
  • Race
  • Weight
  • Set
  • Setting
  • Etc.
54
Q

What are Set and Setting?

A

Certain conditions not directly related to the
drug’s pharmacology or the user’s biology
may also profoundly influence and
determine drug effects.

55
Q

Characteristics of Set:

A

The effects of psychedelic drugs are
dependent first and foremost upon set –
personality, preparation, expectation, and
intention of the person having the
experience.

56
Q

The effects of psychedelic drugs are
dependent first and foremost upon setting –
the physical, social, and cultural environment in which the experience takes
place.

If the surroundings are unfamiliar or hostile,
the user may become fearful,
uncomfortable, or have a “bad trip.”
Are characteristics of”

A

Setting

57
Q

Differences between set, setting, and substances:

A

Marijuana and the hallucinogens are more
affected by the set than heroin,
amphetamines, barbiturates, and PCP.

58
Q

How much is the Standard Drink (Source: NIAAA)

A

12 fl oz of regular beer
8-9 fl oz malt liquor
5 fl oz of table wine
1.5 fl oz shot of distilled spirits (gin, rum, tequila, vodka, whiskey, etc.)

59
Q

Define habit

A

These conditionings lead to the formation of
habit; the initially voluntary behavior now
becomes a habit which compels the person
to continue the use or the act even in the
absence of pleasure and reward.

60
Q

How the habit changes in terms of addictions?

A

“Transition from voluntary drug use to
involuntary drug addiction may be seen as a
transition from prefrontal cortex-dependent
goal-directed to dorsolateral striatum-
dependent habitual action”

61
Q

The survival mechanism

A
  • Amygdala
  • Hypothalamus
  • Autonomic Nervous
    System
    (Sympathetic nervous
    system and
    parasympathetic
    nervous system)
  • HPA Axis (hypothalamus,
    the pituitary gland, and
    adrenal glands)
62
Q
  • The sympathetic nervous system:
    – is like “a gas pedal in a car”
    – is fight-or-flight response
    – provides the body with a burst of
    energy in response to a perceived
    danger
  • The parasympathetic nervous system:
    – is like “a brake in a car”
    – fosters the “rest and digest” response
    that settles down the body after the
    danger has gone
