ASAM Dimensions
• No single treatment is appropriate for all individuals
• Treatment needs to be readily available
• Treatment must attend to multiple needs of the individual
(not just drug use)
• Multiple courses of TX may be required for success
• Remaining in TX for an adequate period of time is critical
for treatment effectiveness
NIDA’s Principles of
Treatment
• Drug addiction can be effectively treated
with behavior-based therapies and with
medications
• Addiction is a complex but treatable
disease that affects brain function and
behavior

The Transtheoretical Model (TTM):
Stages of Change
Prochaska & DiClemente, 1983
Change Model
• The Transtheoretical Model (Prochaska & DiClemente, 1983;
Prochaska, DiClemente, & Norcross, 1992) is an integrative,
biopsychosocial model to conceptualize the process of
intentional behavior change. Whereas other models of
behavior change focus exclusively on certain dimensions of
change (e.g. theories focusing mainly on social or biological
influences), the TTM seeks to include and integrate key
constructs from other theories into a comprehensive theory of
change that can be applied to a variety of behaviors,
populations, and settings (e.g. treatment settings, prevention
and policy-making settings, etc.)—hence, the name
Transtheoretical

Methadone
Buprenorphine
Suboxone
Naltrexone (Revia, Vivitrol: long acting)
Antabuse (Disulfiram)
Chantix
Acamprosate (Campral)
Pharmacotherapies
• Antabuse-causes a severe adverse reaction
• Naltrexone-Works by blocking in the brain the “high”
that is experienced when alcohol is consumed. By
blocking the pleasure the drinker receives, naltrexone
eventually reduces cravings
• Acamprosate-Reduces alcohol cravings and reduces the
physical distress and emotional discomfort people usually
experience when they quit drinking.
Meds for Cravings
• An opioid partial agonist
• Produces opioid effects such as euphoria or respiratory
depression
• These effects are weaker than those of full drugs such as
heroin and methadone
• Lower potential for misuse
• Diminish the effects of physical dependency to opioids
(withdrawal sx and cravings)
Buprenorphine
• Naloxone blocks or reverses the effects of opioid
medication, including extreme drowsiness, slowed
breathing, or loss of consciousness. An opioid is
sometimes called a narcotic. Naloxone is used to treat a
narcotic overdose in an emergency situation.
Naloxone
• Suboxone (buprenorphine and naloxone)
• Suboxone contains a combination of buprenorphine and
naloxone. Buprenorphine is an opioid medication.
Naloxone blocks the effects of opioid medication,
including pain relief or feelings of well-being that can
lead to opioid abuse.

Agonists
Antagonists
Partial agonist/partial antagonist
Opiates and opioids
Terminology
The function of a neurotransmitter can be increased or
mimicked by drugs, medications, or other chemical agents
• Methadone
Agonists
• The function of a neurotransmitter can be decreased,
inhibited, or reversed by other agents
• Naloxone (Narcan) is an opioid antagonist
Antagonists
• Opiates are derived directly from the opium poppy by
departing and purifying the various chemicals in the
poppy. Morphine
• Opioids include all opiates but also include chemicals that
have been synthesized in some way (fentanyl).
• So heroin is an opioid but not an opiate. Morphine is an
opiate and also an opioid.
Opiates and Opioids
Neurotransmitter
General Function
Alcohol-Related
Function
Dopamine
Regulates motivation,
reinforcement, and fine
movement coordination
Mediates reinforcement
of alcohol consumption
Serotonin
Regulates bodily
rhythms, appetite, sexual
behavior, emotional
states, sleep, attention,
motivation
May influence alcohol
consumption, intoxication
and development of
tolerance; may contribute to
withdrawal sx and
reinforcement, may
modulate dopamine release
thereby increasing alcohol’s
rewarding effects
Neurotransmitters
Neurotransmitter
General Function
Alcohol-Related
Function
GABA (Gammaaminobutyric acid)
Serves as the primary
inhibitory
neurotransmitter in the
brain
May contribute to
intoxication and
sedation; inhibition of
GABA function
following drinking
cessation may contribute
to acute w/drawal sx
Glutamate
Serves as the major
excitatory
neurotransmitter in the
brain
May contribute to acute
w/drawal sx; inhibition
of glutamate function
following drinking
cessation may contribute
to intoxication and
sedation
Neurotransmitters
Neurotransmitter
General Function
Alcohol-Related
Function
Opiate Peptides
(including betaendorphin
Regulates various
functions as well as
produces morphine-like
effects, including pain
relief and mood
elevation
Contributes to
reinforcement of alcohol
consumption, possibly
through interaction with
dopamine
