Addiction Potential of Abused Drugs and Drug Classes

Addiction Potential of Abused Drugs and Drug Classes
By:Barry Stimmel
Published on 2013-12-02 by Routledge

Increase your awareness of the relative addiction liabilities of various drugs and drug classes that are commonly abused.

A timely and masterful new book, Addiction Potential of Abused Drugs and Drug Classes clarifies, in contemporary terminology, the state of addiction liability of cocaine, opiates, alcohol, sedative-hypnotics, nicotine, anxiolytics, marijuana, inhalants and anesthetics, and PCP and hallucinogens--the nine drugs that are most abused today.

Authorities combine their research expertise with the available scientific literature to evaluate those factors which contribute to the addictive qualities of drugs.

Specific chapters highlight the positive and negative reinforcement qualities that make drugs rewarding, focus on the two major subtypes of alcoholics, and cover the neuroanatomical and neurochemical bases of psychological dependence, the greatest contributing factor to drug addiction.

An essential new resource for scientists, clinicians, and administrators, Addiction Potential of Abused Drugs and Drug Classes also highlights those areas where more work is needed in order to understand how individual drugs affect the processes of dependence, tolerance, and addiction, so that adequate treatment of these disorders can be discovered.

The book was written for teachers and researchers in the chemical dependency field, to provide an up-to-date review of the literature.

In addition, physicians, nurses, and pharmacists will find the book to be valuable as an update on the relative addiction strengths of abused drugs.

Finally, treatment counselors and professionals with some knowledge of physiology and pharmacology will be interested in the book because of its relevance to the clinical treatment of chemically-dependent patients.

Pathways of Addiction

Pathways of Addiction
By:Institute of Medicine
Published on 1996-10-01 by National Academies Press

Drug abuse persists as one of the most costly and contentious problems on the nation's agenda.

Pathways of Addiction meets the need for a clear and thoughtful national research agenda that will yield the greatest benefit from today's limited resources.

The committee makes its recommendations within the public health framework and incorporates diverse fields of inquiry and a range of policy positions.

It examines both the demand and supply aspects of drug abuse.

Pathways of Addiction offers a fact-filled, highly readable examination of drug abuse issues in the United States, describing findings and outlining research needs in the areas of behavioral and neurobiological foundations of drug abuse.

The book covers the epidemiology and etiology of drug abuse and discusses several of its most troubling health and social consequences, including HIV, violence, and harm to children.

Pathways of Addiction looks at the efficacy of different prevention interventions and the many advances that have been made in treatment research in the past 20 years.

The book also examines drug treatment in the criminal justice setting and the effectiveness of drug treatment under managed care.

The committee advocates systematic study of the laws by which the nation attempts to control drug use and identifies the research questions most germane to public policy.

Pathways of Addiction provides a strategic outline for wise investment of the nation's research resources in drug abuse.

This comprehensive and accessible volume will have widespread relevance--to policymakers, researchers, research administrators, foundation decisionmakers, healthcare professionals, faculty and students, and concerned individuals.

Drug Addiction

Drug Addiction
By:Ramsey Bradley
Published on 2018-05-26 by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform

Hi, my name is Ramsey Bradley and I hold a Master's Degree in Counseling and Psychology, a Bachelor's Degree in Education having graduated with Phi Theta Kappa Honors and having more than 28 years of experience working with adolescents, families, various school systems and the juvenile court system.

I have worked for many years as a front-line clinician or at outpatient substance abuse clinics, intensive outpatient chemical dependency treatment programs, partial hospital dual-diagnosis programs, residential alcohol and drug-abuse treatment centers, and on inpatient psychiatric and medical units as well.

Throughout my years of experience working in the field of addiction I often ask myself 1 main question: What does it really mean or what does it really take for a person to become "ready, willing, or able" to permanently change a habitual pattern of harmful addiction? As a clinician, I sincerely believe that we should always be devoted to empowering our clients at any age or stage of life to continue learning and growing toward greater maturity and wisdom as human beings, and to help them develop a conscious commitment to practice dealing with the problems and opportunities presented by their daily lives in a positive, healthy way.

Therefore, when we make a decision to devote our lives to the daily practice of patience, kindness, tolerance, and unconditional love for ourselves and for all others, we will eventually tap into a deep source of inner peace, inner power, personal freedom, and long-term joy that is always dependable and can never be disturbed, diminished, depleted, or destroyed.

I find and strongly believe that for people struggling with serious harmful addictions this is often the best path and at times may prove to be the only effective path for them in achieving a real and lasting recovery.

Good luck on your Personal Journey, Ramsey Bradley, M.S.
