Commentary on "Civil Commitment for SUDs: A National Survey of Addiction Medicine Physicians"
1University of Hawaii, John A. Burns School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry, Honolulu, HI (WH).
Abstract:
In this issue, authors Abhishek Jain and colleagues report the outcome of a survey of the physician membership of the American Society of Addiction Medicine, bearing on attitudes toward the use of civil commitment in the treatment of substance use disorders (SUDs). This comment considers the sources of the pejorative view in which civil commitment for SUD is often held, identifying several historical analogies with other illnesses. Resolution of the common confusion between toxidrome and addiction, with a renewed emphasis on the treatability of SUDs, may contribute to more productive treatment matching and outcomes.
