Understanding and facing alcohol and drug addiction
Substance Use Disorder (SUD) is increasing due to the social, environmental and cultural characteristics of our society. It tends to present itself more and more in the form of “poly-abuse” or be associated with behavioural addictions such as gambling or the pathological use of the internet. Despite this, drug addiction has been and still is the Cinderella of psychiatric disorders, considered “chronic and relapsing” and not very responsive to treatments. This book is intended to provide recent information on the disorder and the main factors that contribute to the increasing the vulnerability to it, as well as indications on the main treatments available.
It includes worksheets and materials that the patient can use to undertake an initial monitoring of their symptoms and analyse their determination to change, and provides valuable information to family members and acquaintances on the most effective strategies to be implemented when the typical problems that accompany SUD arise.
Introduction
1. Preliminary Information
2. Etiopathogenesis of SUD
3. Psychopathology of SUD
4. Treatment of SUD
5. Practical indications for the patient
6. Practical indications for family and friends
