  • As a result, experts say, the most effective treatments are highly individualized.
  • The Food and Drug Administration has approved three prescription drugs to treat alcohol problems. But they are seldom used, largely because 12-step programs have dominated the treatment field, NIAAA experts say.

  • “We not only use it, we encourage it. If there’s something that can improve your chances of recovery, all the better,” says Joseph Lee, medical director for youth at the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, which uses naltrexone and acamprosate.
  • newer behavioral treatments try to empower patients instead, and focus on developing skills to stay sober.
  • “Over the last 25 to 30 years, much of the neurocircuitry of addiction has been identified,” opening up new targets for interventions, says David Goldman, chief of the NIAAA’s neurogenetics lab

  • 'Special Issuance,' may take several YEARS to accomplish. During this time, there is almost always NO salary, the costs associated with it are NOT reimbursed
  • It is, quite literally, the FAA's way, "or the highway." In effect, the pilot is beholden to his/her assigned medical providers (about whom she has no choice) and treatment philosophy.
  • this becomes the pilot's only mode of maintaining sobriety, and the only method about which she can be forthcoming; other modes of maintaining sobriety will elicit suspicion, and delay issuance of the below:

  • I was terminated by my airline in September of 2013.
  • I made the decision to ‘pick the phone up,’ not fly intoxicated, and exchange my intact career for a chance at what was described by HIMS as,”…the right thing to do to salvage your career…,” not knowing then, what I know now, was a decision I would come to regret with increasing frequency.

A Different Path to Fighting Addiction - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • The psychologists also support the use of anti-craving medications like naltrexone, which block the brain’s ability to release endorphins and the high of using the substance.
  • A 2002 study conducted by researchers at the University of New Mexico and published in the journal Addiction showed that motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy and naltrexone, which are often used together, are far more effective in stopping or reducing drug and alcohol use than the faith-and-abstinence-based model of A.A. and other “TSF” — for 12-step facilitation — programs.
  • Researchers elsewhere have come up with similar findings. In 2006, the Cochrane Library, a health care research group, reviewed four decades of global alcohol treatment studies and concluded, “No experimental studies unequivocally demonstrated the effectiveness of AA or TSF approaches for reducing alcohol dependence or problems.” Despite that research, A.A.’s 12-step model is by far the dominant approach to addiction in America.

  • lifelong abstinence and adherence to the 12 steps mapped out in the Big Book, published four years after the organization was founded in 1935.
  • relies heavily on faith; God is mentioned in five of the 12 steps.
  • Instead of addict or alcoholic, she prefers the terms favored by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, or the DSM-V, which says that patients suffer from “alcohol use disorder” or “substance abuse disorder,” terms that convey a spectrum of severity.
  • “Substance use takes on a lot of different shapes and sizes,” Dr. Kosanke said. “There are real downsides to labeling a child with a lifetime identity, when that truly may or may not turn out to be the case.”
  • “We don’t have a judgment on how you address your substance use problem. Maybe A.A. is helpful to you and you find everything you need there. If it’s not, we genuinely believe there are many strategies for helping to resolve them.”
  • Stanton Peele, a Brooklyn psychologist who has studied substance use for decades and is a longtime critic of the A.A. model.
  • That approach runs through the book she wrote with Dr. Foote and Dr. Kosanke, “Beyond Addiction: How Science and Kindness Can Help People Change.”
  • “She’s not a problem to be solved, but a child to be loved and guided toward a better life.”
