Drug Dependence01:17

Drug Dependence

1.9K
Medications are typically administered to achieve therapeutic effects. Some drugs can modify an individual's mood and perception, frequently resulting in various enjoyable experiences. However, this can result in drug dependency, a condition marked by continuous drug use despite potential negative consequences. Drug dependency primarily falls into two categories: psychological and physical dependence. Psychological dependence occurs when the pleasurable feelings induced by the drug...

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

522
Substance use disorders involve a pattern of using drugs more extensively than intended and continuing use despite harmful consequences. This includes legal substances like alcohol and nicotine, as well as illegal drugs. These disorders often involve both physical and psychological dependence, reflecting compulsive use of substances that significantly alter thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, contributing to a major public health issue.

Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena

1.4K
Drug dependence, abuse, and addiction are complex phenomena that can precipitate various abnormal states. Physical dependence refers to a state of pharmacological adaptation to a drug. This adaptation often results in tolerance—a reduced response to the drug after repeated administrations. When the drug use is abruptly stopped, withdrawal symptoms occur due to the body's need to readjust from the pharmacologically induced imbalance. However, tolerance and withdrawal symptoms do not...

Long-term Depression

3.5K
Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Community Based Intervention

569
Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

Area of Science:

  • Addiction Medicine
  • Occupational Psychiatry
  • Public Health

Background:

  • The SUNRISE-project identifies long-term unemployed individuals (25-49 years) referred for potential substance-related employment barriers.
  • Characterizing these clients is crucial for targeted interventions and understanding the interplay between unemployment and addiction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize long-term unemployed clients referred by unemployment offices regarding education, vocational training, and diagnosed disorders.
  • To investigate the temporal relationship between the onset of unemployment and addictive disorders.

Main Methods:

  • Clients suspected of substance abuse were referred for medical examination.
  • The European Adaptation of the Addiction Severity Index (Europ-ASI) and the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I and II Disorders (SCID-I and SCID-II) were used for assessment.

Main Results:

  • An addictive disorder was diagnosed in 87% of the first 100 clients, frequently alcohol-related and often multiple.
  • Clients often had low educational qualifications (33%), incomplete vocational training (55.2%), and comorbid psychiatric diagnoses (51.7%).
  • Addictive disorders typically began in adolescence or early adulthood, preceding unemployment in most cases.

Conclusions:

  • Many long-term unemployed clients present with educational deficits, early-onset substance use, and co-occurring mental health issues.
  • Addictive disorders are often pre-existing conditions, not a result of unemployment.
  • Integrated programs involving unemployment offices and healthcare systems are essential for improving job market access for this population.
