Study Notes
Understanding Addiction and Models of Treatment
- Socialization plays a key role in shaping drinking behavior and its effects on individuals.
- Positive consequences, such as social rewards or anxiety relief, can reinforce drinking behaviors.
- The Addictions Foundation of Manitoba (AFM) developed the Levels of Involvement framework, considering biological, psychological, and sociological factors in addiction.
- The framework supports the belief that addiction lies on a continuum of severity and requires a range of services.
- AFM defines addiction as an unhealthy relationship with mood-altering substances or activities, influenced by various factors.
- The bio-psychosocial (BPS) model of addiction addresses client diversity and supports client-centered approaches.
- It accommodates traditional and non-traditional addiction models, aligns with current research, and supports prevention practices.
- The moral view of addiction includes the Dry Moral Model, emphasizing individual blame, and the Wet Moral Model, focusing on willpower.
- The harm reduction model seeks to reduce harm caused by drug use, with the primary goal being harm reduction rather than abstinence.
- Harm reduction strategies are compared to common practices like wearing seatbelts and avoiding certain medications during pregnancy.
- The harm reduction model recognizes each person's unique relationship with drugs and aims to reduce harm caused by drug use.
- Not all drug use is considered addiction in the harm reduction model, and the emphasis is on reducing harm rather than promoting abstinence.
Understanding Addiction as a Brain Disease and the Disease Model of Addiction
- Drug addiction is considered a brain disease that results from the initially voluntary behavior of using drugs, leading to uncontrollable compulsive drug craving, seeking, and use.
- Repeated drug use changes brain structure and function in long-lasting ways, leading to cognitive and emotional distortions characteristic of addiction.
- The majority of the biomedical community views addiction as a brain disease caused by persistent changes in brain structure and function.
- The disease model of addiction has sparked controversy, as some still believe that biological and behavioral explanations are competing, rather than complementary.
- Gorski outlines the criteria in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV for alcoholism as evidence of a disease, including compulsive use, tolerance, withdrawal, and substance-induced organic mental disorders.
- The standard approach to addressing addiction using the disease model is to promote total abstinence from all mind-altering drugs, with continual vigilance to prevent relapse.
- The 12 Step Program, based on the disease model, is a successful free treatment program for various addictions, promoting the belief that "once an addict, always an addict."
- The Bio-Psychosocial (BPS) Model of Addiction asserts that biological, psychological, social, and environmental experiences affect the development of addiction.
- Research shows that learning greatly influences the development of harmful drinking behavior, suggesting that psychological, social, and environmental factors play a role in addiction.
- The BPS Model integrates biological and behavioral components, emphasizing the complex interplay of genetics, environment, and personal experiences in addiction.
- The disease model of addiction has led to the promotion of total abstinence and the encouragement of participation in self-help groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous.
- The disease model of addiction emphasizes the importance of understanding addiction as a bio-behavioral disorder, integrating biological, psychological, and social factors.
