  • Dr. Howard Wetsman argues that most addiction treatment has been misguided and ineffective but that we are finally able to "throw away the cookie cutter" and "treat addiction like the disease it is."...Richard Juman, PsyD
  • We don’t really believe that addiction is a disease!
  • in spite of the language that we use in describing addiction as a disease, we don’t actually treat it like it is a disease
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • That’s because with every other chronic disease we look at data. With addiction, we believe.
  • As long as we think of addiction as something a “normal person” has done to himself by using a drug, we will only see it as a temporary abnormality brought on by bad behavior.
  • The mindset behind this advice is that addiction is really just a long-lasting intoxication that will eventually go away, leaving the person normal again; this is not a true understanding of addiction as a disease.
  • I found that she had a polymorphism of Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR), an enzyme that turns folic acid from our diet into L-methylfolate, the only form that our brains can use. One use for L-methylfolate is as a co-enzyme in two stages of the production of dopamine.
  • based in biology and developed from essential principles.
  • “Addiction is a primary, chronic disease of brain reward, motivation, memory and related circuitry. Dysfunction in these circuits leads to characteristic biological, psychological, social and spiritual manifestations. This is reflected in an individual pathologically pursuing reward and/or relief by substance use and other behaviors.”
  • We can finally treat addiction like the disease it is in nature.
  • Howard C. Wetsman, MD, is the Chief Medical Officer of the Townsend Addiction Treatment Centers in Louisiana and the author of Questions and Answers on Addiction.

  • More evidence that the FAA is misguided in their ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach in administering the HIMS (Human Intervention Motivation Study) program…
  • and stressed that “there is no ‘one-size fits-all’ treatment, … [and] efficacy of the treatments may vary from person to person.”
  • since drug addictions are very common disorders in both general and psychiatric patient populations, she hoped the session succeeded in “conveying some important messages about the treatment of addiction” that psychiatrists could take home and use in their practices.

  • “Pharmacotherapies for AUD are highly underutilized. Only 8 percent of adults with AUD are currently being treated for the illness” with these medications, said Steven Batki, M.D., a professor of psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco, who pointed out that there is no universal treatment that is as effective in all patients with AUD.
  • Though there are multiple pharmacotherapy options available to treat substance use disorders, some addiction experts maintain that these medications are often underutilized
  • these disorders are too seldom treated with pharmacotherapies approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), some addiction experts maintain.

    the primary functions in the aircraft more powered by electrical system; rather than conventional Pneumatic and hydraulic system aircraft will able to achieve reduced fuel burn, higher reliability, reduction in maintenance cost and more dispatch availability. Even though the challenges are enormous our modern world has come up with bleed less and efficient system. The industry is witnessing new entrants from emerging economies in narrow body segment, especially from China. Coupled with the increase in orders for existing models and new models and the need for more fuel efficient and greener aircraft the electrical and environmental systems will be charged with opportunities.

  • 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.

  • 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.”
