Addiction - The Biology of the Pursuit of Happiness
(Sex, Drugs, and Rock ‘n Roll)
What do substance abuse, romantic love, pathological gambling, and internet addiction have in common? They are all conditions that challenge our thinking about free choice compulsive behavior, and self-control. How responsible are we for our bad habits?
This program will explore the biological understanding of the commonly identified features of addiction – genetic vulnerability, the brain’s reward system, withdrawal, and relapse. We will look specifically at substances that are frequently abused – alcohol, marijuana, opioids, methamphetamine – as well as a few behavioral addictions – gambling, the proposed internet gaming addiction, etc. Along the way we will look at treatment strategies and their efficacy.
Training Objectives:
At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
1) Summarize the qualities of addictive behavior
2) Evaluate the various treatments for addictive behavior
3) Recognize the biological features of the different addictive disorders
4) Incorporate research findings concerning treatment into their approach with these clients
