Current Science of Addiction and Recovery: Dispelling the Stigma
Presented by:
Darryl S. Inaba, PharmD., CATC-V, CADCIII
NCAMHP Humboldt Area Foundation 373 Indianola Rd., Bayside, Ca. 95524 on 05/06/16 from 9am to 4:30pm.
Workshop Description:
Despite passage of the Addictions Equity Act in 2008, great Stigma exists about those vulnerable to
Addiction
and Related Disorders. This stigma leads to much undue shame and guilt suffered by addicts that can then hamper
their efforts to maintain sobriety. Research on addiction which led to the passage of the 2008 Act is just starting to
erode some of this stigma. Brain imaging and other more recent research tools continue to discover variances in
neuro-cellular, neuro-chemical, and neuro-functioning that underlie a vulnerability to develop substance-related and
other addictive disorders. The brain anomalies associated with addictive disorders provide an understanding of the
differences between the wide variety of drugs and behavioral compulsions. They also help to explain why some are
more likely than others to relapse after treatment for their compulsive drug use or behaviors. The rapidly expanding
field of Addiction Medicine provides new insights on preventing, assessing and treatment of addictions and related
disorders. It is also providing more evidenced-based resources to better manage those struggling with these major
mental health disorders.
This presentation will explore the evolving science of Addiction and Recovery to dispel the undue stigma associated
with Substance Related and Addictive Disorders. It will also offer an introduction to the new resources in
development to treat these disorder and the evolving medical specialty of addiction medicine.
PRESENTATION GOALS:
Participation in this presentation will result in the following:
*Increased understanding of neuro-chemical, neuro-cellular and neuro-functional mechanisms that
underlie addictions and related disorders.
*Appreciation of the diathesis stress model as the root cause of addiction and related disorders
*Familiarity with the brain’s memory process of dendritic spines and their role in triggering cravings
that lead to vulnerability for slips and relapses in recovery.
*Improved understanding of the brain’s memory process and its role in craving and relapse in addiction
*Exposure to the expanding science of epigenetic gene expressions and how environmental trauma
can influence the vulnerability to addiction
PRESENTATION OBJECTIVES:
Upon completion of the presentation, participants will be able to:
*Identify the 2 major circuit of the brain’s addiction pathway and name at least 2 brain structures involved with
the “Go” and “Stop” processes of these circuits
*Elucidate 3factors that contribute to the development of the brain anomalies associated with Substance
Related and Addictive Disorders.
*Describe how neurotransmitters affect compulsivity and cravings and name at least 3 the most important
neurotransmitters involved in these activities.
