Cross-addition is the single greatest relapse factor. Those who seek treatment generally have an honest desire to remain abstinent from alcohol or another drug of choice. Yet most can also name a drug they've tried that they considered "safe" for themselves, one they believe they can control. Firsthand testimony from recovering alcoholics and addicts, chemical dependency professionals, and a medical doctor dispel the myth that there is any such thing as a "safe" substance for people in recovery. The video ends with a message of hope as the recovering individuals share the joys and triumphs complete abstinence has brought to their lives. *Part of the Hazelden Drugs of Addiction Series

The spectrum of addiction disorders presents practitioners with numerous challenges—among them the widening gap between a growing evidence base and the translation of this knowledge into treatment outcomes. Addiction Medicine addresses this disconnect, clearly explaining the role of brain function in drug taking and other habit-forming behaviors, and applying this biobehavioral framework to the delivery of evidence-based treatment. Its state-of-the-art coverage provides clinically relevant details on not only traditional sources of addiction such as cocaine, opiates, and alcohol, but also more recently recognized substances of abuse (e.g., steroids, inhalants) as well as behavioral addictions (e.g., binge eating, compulsive gambling, hoarding). Current behavioral and medical therapies are discussed in depth, and the book’s close attention to social context gives readers an added lens for personalizing treatment. An international panel of expert contributors offers the most up-to-date information on: Diagnosis and classification Neurobiological and molecular theories of addiction Behavioral concepts of addiction Clinical aspects of addiction to a wide range of substances, including opiates, stimulants, sedatives, hallucinogens, alcohol, nicotine, and caffeine Science-based treatment options: pharmacotherapy, pharmacogenetics, potential vaccines, brief and compliance-enhancing interventions, cognitive behavioral treatment, behavioral management, and other psychosocial interventions Behavioral addictions—including compulsive eating, Internet messaging, and hypersexuality—and their treatment Addiction in specific populations, including adolescents, the elderly, pregnant women, and health care professionals Legal, disability, and rehabilitation issues At once comprehensive and integrative, Addiction Medicine is an essential text and a practice-expanding tool for psychiatrists, health psychologists, pharmacologists, social workers, drug counselors, trainees, and general physicians/family practitioners.

Ten percent of us suffer full-blown addiction to it. Half of all accidents involve it. American businesses spend $200 billion each year because of it. Almost half of emergency hospital admissions are due to it. Perfectly legal for all. Perfectly dangerous for some. This dramatic new video looks at alcohol from all directions: the danger of addiction and cross-addiction; the struggle involved in admitting the problem; and the reward of starting to recover from this often deadly disease. Shown through stories of all types of people affected by it, ALCOHOL is a 40-minute video segmented into two, 20-minute parts. Poignant testimonials from people in recovery are skillfully combined with narration from experts in the field to deliver solid information along with the real-life human impact of alcohol abuse. Each 20-minute segment helps us, particularly those in early recovery, better understand the history, effects, dangers, and recovery aspects of alcohol use and abuse. The key message: recovery from alcoholism is possible. Part One: The Disease provides clients with an overview of alcohol including historical and cultural aspects of alcohol use, how it is used, and the cost of alcoholism to society. It examines the pharmacology of alcohol use, including the impact of the drug on the body and mind. Part Two: Getting Better explores the feelings that motivate addicts to seek treatment. It analyzes the path toward recovery and some of the struggles we often experience along the way. Dramatic testimonials and group settings illustrate the rewards of living life without drugs--and without alcohol. *Part of the Hazelden Drugs of Addiction Series

Addictive behaviors beg for an informed explanation to guide patients, families, students, and clinicians through the maddening and often incomprehensible nature of the addictions. Too often addiction is perceived to be merely a moral weakness or purely a brain disease, ignoring the deep personal pain that can permeate the lives of the addicted. But taking an honest look at the underlying emotional or mental issues can more clearly illuminate not only the causes of the addiction, but also the cure. Doctors Edward J. Khantzian and Mark J. Albanese, leading researchers in the field of addiction, see addictions primarily as a kind of self medication--a self medication that can temporarily soothe anxiety or pain, but that ultimately wreaks havoc on the lives and health of both the addicted and their loved ones.With practical advice, compelling case studies, and nuanced theory drawn from their years in clinical practice, Doctors Khantzian and Albanese look at the core reasons behind many addictions and provide a pathway to hope. Understanding Addiction as Self Medication looks at a range of addictions, including alcohol and substance abuse, and clearly explains how to understand other addictive behaviors through the lens of the Self Medication Hypothesis. This book provides a much-needed guide to both understanding addictions and working towards healing.

Understanding the phenomenon of long-lasting vulnerability to addiction is essential to developing successful treatments. Written by an international team of authorities in their respective fields, Advances in the Neuroscience of Addiction provides an excellent overview of the available and emerging approaches used to investigate the biologic mechanisms of drug addiction. It also delineates the promising research discoveries being made in relapse prevention. The book begins with current animal models of addiction, which mimic the state of humans entering treatment: recently-abstinent animals that receive common triggers for relapse (classical conditioning, stress, and neuroadaptive dysregulation). Coverage then shifts to the use of electrophysiologic approaches, which enable researchers to characterize the discharge patterns of single neurons during drug self-administration. After exploring advances in voltammetry and enzyme-linked biosensors for measuring glutamate, the book discusses the theoretical background and results of neuroimaging studies related to neuronal networks that are activated by drug-specific cues. It then describes modern genetic approaches to manipulate target proteins that influence addictive behavior. The book rounds out its coverage by illustrating how a neuroeconomic approach can inform studies of reward processing in general and addiction in particular. It is a comprehensive introduction to the methodologies of the field for students and beginning researchers and an essential reference source for established investigators.
