Medical Model of Substance Use Disorders

  • Substance use disorder is characterized by criteria such as continued use despite social or interpersonal problems, giving up important activities, and risky use in hazardous situations.
  • Severity of substance use disorders is classified as mild (2-3 criteria), moderate (4-5 criteria), or severe (6 or more criteria).
  • Prolonged drug use leads to fundamental and long-lasting changes in the brain, both structurally and functionally.
  • Evidence shows that prolonged drug use decreases brain metabolism in substance use disorder patients.
  • Neuronal dendrites in the nucleus accumbens and dopamine receptors are affected by addiction, leading to persistent structural and functional modifications in the brain.
  • Films and imaging studies reveal the impact of addiction on the human brain, depicting decreased dopamine receptor availability and structural modifications in the nucleus accumbens and prefrontal cortex.
  • Substance use disorders are defined by the American Psychiatric Association as a brain disease characterized by compulsive behavior and persistent changes in the brain's structure and function.
  • Screening, assessment, and treatment are essential components for determining the likelihood of co-occurring substance use and mental disorders and influencing presenting signs, symptoms, or behaviors.
  • Non-substance-related disorders like gambling disorder also exhibit persistent and recurrent problematic behavior leading to clinically significant impairment or distress.
  • The diagnostic criteria for gambling disorder include needs to gamble with increasing amounts of money, unsuccessful efforts to control gambling, and jeopardizing significant relationships or opportunities due to gambling.
  • Addiction is defined as a brain disease characterized by compulsive behavior, continued drug abuse despite negative consequences, and persistent changes in the brain's structure and function.
  • Evidence from studies such as those by the National Institute on Drug Abuse and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism supports the medical model of substance use disorders.
