CNS Depressants: Alcohol and Nicotine01:27

CNS Depressants: Alcohol and Nicotine

Ethanol, a clear colorless alcohol, has been consumed by humans for millennia, but its effects on the body are far from benign. At lower doses, it induces decreased inhibitions and loquaciousness, leading to its social appeal. However, it can cause severe consequences at higher doses, such as coma and respiratory depression, due to its zero-order elimination kinetics. Chronic ethanol abuse wreaks havoc on multiple organ systems, particularly the CNS and the liver. Abrupt cessation of ethanol...
Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep01:24

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

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.
Understanding the concepts of physical dependence,...

Dosage Regimens: Designs and Approaches

Designing a dosage regimen, which refers to the manner of drug administration, is a complex process involving the selection of drug dose, route, and frequency. This process is underpinned by pharmacokinetic parameters derived from tests and population averages. These parameters are then tailored to patient-specific variables such as diagnosis, demographics, and allergy status. Once therapy commences, therapeutic response monitoring is critical and achieved through clinical and physical...
Stress Prevention and Stress Management Techniques IV01:26

Stress Prevention and Stress Management Techniques IV

Stress often leads to unhealthy habits like smoking, excessive drinking, and overeating, which offer short-term relief but ultimately increase long-term health risks. These behaviors create a cycle that temporarily lowers stress levels but can result in severe long-term health consequences. Breaking these habits is essential to reduce the risk of chronic diseases and improve overall well-being. Three primary changes that support better health include quitting smoking, reducing alcohol intake,...
Binge Eating Disorders01:23

Binge Eating Disorders

Binge eating disorder is a significant mental health condition characterized by recurrent episodes of excessive food consumption within a short period, accompanied by a perceived loss of control over eating behavior. Unlike occasional overeating, binge eating disorder is marked by distressing emotions such as guilt, shame, and anxiety following binge episodes. The disorder affects individuals across different ages and backgrounds, with profound implications for physical and psychological...
Community Based Intervention01:30

Community Based Intervention

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.
Foundations of Community Mental Health Programs
Central to the success of community-based interventions is the...

Area of Science:

  • Integrative Medicine
  • Addiction Psychiatry
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a chronic disease requiring comprehensive, multidisciplinary treatment.
  • Holistic health emphasizes body, mind, and spirit well-being, integrating alternative and allopathic medicine.
  • There is increasing interest in incorporating holistic strategies into addiction treatment programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and characterize holistic health interventions for managing AUD.
  • To collect data on the efficacy of these interventions.
  • To pinpoint literature gaps and suggest future research directions.

Main Methods:

  • A scoping review following the Arksey and O'Malley framework.
  • Inclusion of published research and pilot trials on holistic interventions in AUD.
  • Searches across five major databases (PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus) with no date restrictions (English-language only).

Main Results:

  • Data collection and analysis for this scoping review were completed in February and June 2026, respectively.
  • Results are anticipated for publication in late 2026.
  • This review will provide a comprehensive overview of current holistic practices in AUD management.

Conclusions:

  • The review will offer insights into holistic interventions for AUD, highlighting their current application and effectiveness.
  • Identified gaps will guide future research in this evolving field of addiction treatment.
  • Findings will be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal, contributing to the scientific literature on AUD management.
