Stimulants01:29

Stimulants

273
Stimulants are substances that enhance neural activity and elevate dopamine levels in the brain, leading to their highly addictive nature. These drugs include cocaine, amphetamines, MDMA, caffeine, and nicotine, each with distinct mechanisms of action and varied health implications.
Cocaine can be administered via snorting, injection, or smoking. It primarily functions by blocking the reuptake of dopamine, resulting in a euphoric high characterized by an intense sensation of happiness and...

Treatment Strategies for Psychological Disorders

245
Treatment approaches for psychological disorders fall into three main categories: psychological, biological, and sociocultural. Each approach targets different aspects of mental health, requiring varying levels of education and training.
Psychological therapies focus on modifying emotions, thoughts, and behaviors through talking, interpreting, listening, rewarding, challenging, and modeling. Clinical psychologists, counselors, and social workers commonly practice psychotherapy. Clinical...

CNS Stimulants: Cocaine, Amphetamines and Cannabinoids

310
CNS stimulants, such as cocaine, amphetamines, and cannabinoids, have varying structures and mechanisms of action that lead to different therapeutic effects and side effects. Cocaine, with its molecular formula C17H21NO4, is a tropane alkaloid and a tertiary amino compound. It has two chemical forms: the hydrochloride salt and the "freebase." The former is in powder form, while the latter involves removing the hydrochloride salt to create a form that can be smoked. Cocaine exerts its...

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

140
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Cognitive Therapy01:25

Cognitive Therapy

203
Cognitive therapy, pioneered by Aaron T. Beck in the 1960s, is a structured approach to addressing psychological distress by focusing on the influence of thoughts on emotions and behaviors. All cognitive therapies involve the basic assumption that human beings have control over their feelings, and that how individuals feel about something depends on how they think about it. Unlike psychoanalytic methods that delve into unconscious processes or humanistic approaches emphasizing...

Operant Conditioning Intervention01:24

Operant Conditioning Intervention

100
Operant conditioning serves as a foundational principle in therapeutic interventions aimed at modifying maladaptive behaviors. Central to this approach is the notion that behaviors, both adaptive and maladaptive, are learned through reinforcement. By analyzing the environmental factors that reinforce problematic behaviors, clinicians can design interventions to weaken these reinforcements and replace maladaptive behaviors with healthier alternatives.
In operant conditioning, behaviors that are...

Area of Science:

  • Addiction Medicine
  • Psychiatry
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Stimulant use disorder (SUD) presents a significant public health challenge.
  • In 2018, cocaine use affected 2.8% of males and 1.5% of females over 18 in the US.
  • High rates of psychiatric comorbidity are observed in SUD patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement and assess the feasibility of a targeted Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) group intervention for SUD patients.
  • To evaluate attendance rates and clinical outcomes within this specific patient population.

Main Methods:

  • A 9-session CBT group program was delivered to SUD patients in addiction care.
  • Participants were assessed at baseline and conclusion for addictive, psychological, and psychiatric dimensions.
  • Intervention themes included SUD definition, motivation enhancement, social support, craving management, problem-solving, and relapse prevention.

Main Results:

  • Forty-one patients attended at least one session, primarily poly-dependent cocaine users.
  • Sixty percent of participants had a co-occurring psychiatric comorbidity.
  • The median attendance rate was 7 out of 9 sessions.

Conclusions:

  • A targeted CBT group intervention is feasible for highly comorbid stimulant-dependent patients.
  • The study highlights the potential benefit of integrating peer support within addiction treatment services.
