Chemical Dependency and Compulsive Behaviors

Chemical Dependency and Compulsive Behaviors
By:Richard W. Esterly
Published on 2013-06-17 by Routledge

There is a tremendous concern and interest in the number of chemical dependents with co-existing compulsive behaviors.

However, no one has developed a theory that can explain the high prevalence of compulsive behaviors in chemical dependents, and more importantly, describe the treatment and recovery implications.

The literature and professionals are divided with the counselors/clinicians on one side and the researchers on the other.

The authors try to bridge this obvious gap by writing a book that can bring recent genetic/biochemical research to the counselor/clinician in a way that will help them diagnose and treat their patients.

This book is the result of the authors' long interest in and study of chemical dependency and compulsive behaviors.

It begins with the observation that chemical dependents experience a much higher prevalence of compulsive behaviors than the general population.

Although many have written about the two subjects--generally the relationship of a single compulsive behavior to chemical dependency--none have developed a theory with supporting research that ties the type of chemical dependency to specific compulsive behaviors.

The authors describe recent research that connects chemical dependency and compulsive behaviors to the underlying genetic/biochemical mechanisms, and provide detailed examinations of the clinical implications of the model as well as case histories.

Concepts of Chemical Dependency

Concepts of Chemical Dependency
By:Harold E. Doweiko
Published on 2014-03-14 by Cengage Learning

CONCEPTS OF CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY, Ninth Edition, provides comprehensive coverage and the latest information on a full spectrum of substance use disorders and the compounds commonly abused.

Topics include the abuse of and addiction to alcohol; how the active agent in marijuana, THC, affects neural growth and development; the emerging body of evidence suggesting a relationship between marijuana abuse and psychotic disorders; the emerging body of evidence suggesting that marijuana is not as benign as it was thought to be a few years ago; and the abuse of cough syrups.

Adding to the book's usefulness and relevance, Doweiko also covers topics not usually discussed in other substance abuse texts, including abuse of anabolic steroids, inhalants, infectious diseases associated with substance abuse, how the “war on drugs” has actually contributed to the problem of substance abuse/addiction in this country, and the “medical marijuana” debate.

This edition includes new information on synthetic marijuana, mephredone, and dextromethorphan, among other substances; updates reflecting the new DSM-5; and a new chapter on the Biopsychosocial Model of Addiction.

Students report that they appreciate the author's balanced approach, which allows them to form their own opinions, in contrast to some books that “preach” that “drugs are bad for you.” Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.

Drug Use for Grown-Ups

Drug Use for Grown-Ups
By:Dr. Carl L. Hart
Published on 2022-01-11 by Penguin

“Hart’s argument that we need to drastically revise our current view of illegal drugs is both powerful and timely .

.

.

when it comes to the legacy of this country’s war on drugs, we should all share his outrage.” —The New York Times Book Review From one of the world's foremost experts on the subject, a powerful argument that the greatest damage from drugs flows from their being illegal, and a hopeful reckoning with the possibility of their use as part of a responsible and happy life Dr.

Carl L.

Hart, Ziff Professor at Columbia University and former chair of the Department of Psychology, is one of the world's preeminent experts on the effects of so-called recreational drugs on the human mind and body.

Dr.

Hart is open about the fact that he uses drugs himself, in a happy balance with the rest of his full and productive life as a researcher and professor, husband, father, and friend.

In Drug Use for Grown-Ups, he draws on decades of research and his own personal experience to argue definitively that the criminalization and demonization of drug use--not drugs themselves--have been a tremendous scourge on America, not least in reinforcing this country's enduring structural racism.

Dr.

Hart did not always have this view.

He came of age in one of Miami's most troubled neighborhoods at a time when many ills were being laid at the door of crack cocaine.

His initial work as a researcher was aimed at proving that drug use caused bad outcomes.

But one problem kept cropping up: the evidence from his research did not support his hypothesis.

From inside the massively well-funded research arm of the American war on drugs, he saw how the facts did not support the ideology.

The truth was dismissed and distorted in order to keep fear and outrage stoked, the funds rolling in, and Black and brown bodies behind bars.

Drug Use for Grown-Ups will be controversial, to be sure: the propaganda war, Dr.

Hart argues, has been tremendously effective.

Imagine if the only subject of any discussion about driving automobiles was fatal car crashes.

Drug Use for Grown-Ups offers a radically different vision: when used responsibly, drugs can enrich and enhance our lives.

We have a long way to go, but the vital conversation this book will generate is an extraordinarily important step.

Dod and Va Health Care

Dod and Va Health Care
By:Office, U.s. Government Accountability
Published on 2017-08-17 by

"In 2007, following reports of poor case management for outpatients at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, the Departments of Defense (DOD) and Veterans Affairs (VA) jointly developed the Federal Recovery Coordination Program (FRCP) to coordinate the clinical and nonclinical services needed by severely wounded, ill, and injured servicemembers and veterans.

The FRCP, which continues to expand, is administered by VA, and the care coordinators, called Federal Recovery Coordinators (FRC), are VA employees.

This report examines (1) whether servicemembers and veterans who need FRCP services are being identified and enrolled in the program, (2) staffing challenges confronting the FRCP, and (3) challenges facing the FRCP in its efforts to coordinate care for enrollees.

GAO reviewed FRCP policies and procedures and conducted over 170 interviews of FRCP officials, FRCs, headquarters officials and staff of DOD and VA case management programs, and staff at medical facilities where FRCs are located.

GAO recommends that VA direct the FRCP Executive Director to establish systematic oversight of enrollment decisions, complete development of a workload assessment tool, document staffing decisions, and develop..."
