Study Notes
Models of Addiction
-
Moral Model: This oldest perspective views addiction as a moral failing or weakness of character. Individuals are seen as responsible for their choices and lack self-discipline and willpower. Historically, this model has led to stigmatization and punitive measures rather than treatment and support.
-
Disease Model: Addiction is considered a chronic, progressive, and relapsing brain disease. This model highlights the impact of genetics, environment, and development on addiction. It emphasizes changes in brain structure and function, particularly in the reward system, and the resulting compulsive drug-seeking behavior.
-
Psychological Model: This model focuses on mental health, cognitive processes, and emotional factors. Addiction may serve as a maladaptive coping mechanism for dealing with stress, trauma, or other emotional issues. Cognitive processes like beliefs, expectations, and thought patterns play a significant role.
-
Social Model: This model emphasizes social, cultural, and environmental factors influencing addiction. It highlights factors such as peer pressure, social norms, substance availability, and socio-economic status. Individuals are more likely to develop addiction in environments that promote substance use or addictive behaviors and when exposure to stressors occur (poverty, discrimination, etc).
-
Biopsychosocial Model: This model integrates biological, psychological, and social factors in understanding addiction. Addiction results from the dynamic interplay between genetic makeup, psychological characteristics, and social environment. No single factor fully accounts for the development or maintenance of addictive behaviors.
-
Spiritual Model: Addiction is viewed as a spiritual issue stemming from a disconnection from meaning or purpose in life. This model emphasizes developing a connection with a higher power or spiritual practices to overcome addiction.
Treatment Approaches
-
Psychotherapy: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and modify maladaptive thinking and behaviors, challenging distorted beliefs about addiction. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) specifically addresses emotional dysregulation and impulsivity, often used for those with co-occurring disorders like borderline personality disorder. Motivational Interviewing (MI) focuses on enhancing motivation for change and building self-efficacy.
-
Integrated Care: Coordination of pharmacological, psychotherapeutic, and community-based interventions in treating addiction. Collaboration between medical professionals, mental health providers, and community resources is crucial.
-
Multidisciplinary Treatment Teams: Involve professionals from various disciplines (psychiatry, psychology, social work, etc.) to provide holistic and personalized care tailored to individual needs and circumstances.
-
Patient-Centered Care: Involves actively involving people with addiction in decisions, adjusting treatment plans based on their needs/preferences, and building empowering relationships with providers to ensure engagement and promote recovery.
-
Spiritual Practices: (e.g., 12-Step programs, mindfulness and meditation, spiritual counseling) integrate spiritual practices and principles into the recovery process, helping address underlying existential concerns, and cultivate deeper connections with self and spiritual beliefs.
