Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena

700
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...

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...

Regulatory bodies, including the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Union's European Medicines Agency (EMA), play a central role in this process. These agencies evaluate the safety and efficacy of drugs before they can be marketed. They fund clinical trials and assess the benefits and risks associated with...

Obedience

33.1K
According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Researchers have tested many persuasion strategies, including the foot-in-the door and the door-in-the-face techniques, in a variety of contexts. Ultimately, the principles are effective in selling products and changing people’s attitude, ideas, and behaviors (Cialdini & Goldstein, 2004).

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Psychology
  • Addiction Treatment
  • Court Systems

Background:

  • Specialty courts, including Mental Health Courts (MHC), have explored voluntary consent.
  • Limited research exists on coercion perceptions among participants in Drug Treatment Courts (DTC).
  • DTCs represent the most prevalent type of specialty court.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate perceptions of coercion during enrollment among DTC participants.
  • To assess the degree to which individuals feel compelled to join DTCs.

Main Methods:

  • Survey administered to 85 participants across two Massachusetts DTCs.
  • Data collected at the time of enrollment into the program.

Main Results:

  • Participants reported low average levels of perceived coercion (M = 1.67, SD = 1.23).
  • The findings suggest that the majority of individuals did not view their enrollment in DTC as a coercive decision.

Conclusions:

  • Most DTC participants do not perceive their enrollment as coercive.
  • Further research should explore variations within DTCs and the impact of perceived coercion on participant outcomes and specific subpopulations.
