Study Notes
Substance Use Disorder Diagnosis Criteria
- Criteria include larger amounts consumed than intended, persistent desire to cut down, significant time spent on substance-related activities, and cravings for the substance.
- Experiencing euphoria without the substance is NOT a criterion.
Common Substance Use Disorder in Australia
- Alcohol use disorder is the most prevalent substance use disorder in Australia, surpassing cannabis and methamphetamine use disorders.
Genetic Predisposition in Substance Use Disorders
- The biological perspective emphasizes the role of genetic predisposition in the development of substance use disorders.
Disease Model of Addiction
- Substance use disorders are characterized by a loss of control due to brain impairment according to the disease model, rather than environmental factors or learned behaviors.
Neurotransmitter Involved in Reward System
- Dopamine is the key neurotransmitter implicated in the reward system associated with substance dependence.
Methamphetamine Use in Australia
- The prevalence of methamphetamine use is not significantly decreasing and is used primarily in its crystal form; intravenous use is common.
Choice Theory Criticism
- A major criticism is that the choice theory fails to account for loss of control concerning substance use disorders.
Abstinence Violation Effect
- The effect refers to guilt and powerlessness experienced after a lapse in abstinence, influencing future relapse.
Pharmacological Interventions Goal
- The main goal is to reduce the reinforcing effects of the substance rather than eliminate it or provide a placebo effect.
Opioid Withdrawal Symptoms
- Common withdrawal symptoms of opioids include diarrhea, piloerection, nausea, vomiting, and muscle aches; hallucinations are NOT typical.
Peer Pressure and Substance Use Disorders
- The social/cultural perspective considers the impact of peer pressure and community context in developing substance use disorders.
Incentive-Sensitization Theory
- This theory suggests users will increasingly desire the drug over time but may not enjoy it as much, highlighting a difference between wanting and liking.
Treatment Goals for Substance Use Disorders
- Treatment goals typically include complete abstinence, controlled use, harm reduction, and minimizing withdrawal symptoms; increased substance use is NOT a goal.
Gambling Disorder Misconceptions
- The false statement about gambling disorder is that its prevalence is higher than that of alcohol use disorder; it does not.
Classical Conditioning in Substance Use
- The phenomenon where a previously neutral stimulus elicits a response due to its association with a substance is termed classical conditioning.
Detoxification Process
- Detoxification typically includes initial evaluation, stabilization, and medical support during withdrawal but NOT long-term psychological therapy.
Treatments for Opioid Use Disorder
- Methadone and buprenorphine are common treatments for opioid use disorder, often combined for effectiveness.
Cognitive Distortions in Gambling Disorder
- Cognitive distortions are significant for the diagnosis and exacerbate the disorder; they play a crucial role in the treatment approach.
Cloninger's Tri-dimensional Personality Theory
- Factors associated with the development of substance use disorders include novelty-seeking, harm avoidance, and reward dependence; high intelligence is NOT included.
Epidemiology of Substance Use Disorders
- False regarding epidemiology: Indigenous populations have lower rates of substance use disorders compared to other populations.
PRIME Theory of Motivation Components
- Components of the PRIME theory include plans, responses, impulses, emotions, and evaluations; any statement suggesting that one of these elements isn’t included is incorrect.
Comorbidity of Substance Use Disorders
- Substance use often exacerbates other mental health problems; comorbidity rates with mental disorders are relatively high.
Impact of Colonization on Indigenous Substance Use Disorders
- Colonization has historically led to continued social and economic marginalization, which negatively impacts substance use behaviors among Indigenous populations.
Role of Antagonist Medications
- Antagonist medications primarily block the rewarding effects of substances, assisting in preventing relapse.
Reasons for High Comorbidity
- Substance use can serve as self-medication, substances may cause mental health issues, and environmental influences contribute to high comorbidity; claims of no impact are incorrect.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Effectiveness
- CBT is effective for treating substance use disorders, focusing on changing maladaptive thought patterns and behaviors, aiding in relapse prevention.
Alcohol Withdrawal Symptoms
- Common alcohol withdrawal symptoms include tremors, hallucinations, seizures, and anxiety; euphoria is NOT a typical symptom.
Inhibition Dysregulation Theory
- The theory posits that there is impairment in the neural system responsible for inhibiting rewarding behavior, influencing substance use.
Synthetic Drugs and Public Health
- Synthetic drugs are associated with severe health risks, including psychosis, stroke, and death, and are a significant public health threat.
Psychosocial Treatments for Substance Use Disorders
- Psychosocial treatments include cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, contingency management, and group therapy; antagonist medications do not belong in this category.
