  7. Use • drink / use to be social and on social occasions (sometimes referred to as social or recreational use) • occasionally drink or use for the intoxicating effects • drink / use occasionally, for example a couple of times a month to a couple of times per year • typically drink 1 - 2 drinks per drinking occasion, sometimes more; may leave drinks unfinished • drink or use to intoxication only occasionally; episodes of intoxication do not interfere with life functioning • have never experienced life problems as a result of drinking or using

  8. ABUSE • drink or use for the effect of feeling drunk or high • frequently drink to intoxication and use to the point of significant impairment • have experienced at least one life problem associated with the use of drugs or alcohol • continue to use despite life problems associated with using • are starting to experience increased tolerance to alcohol and drugs of abuse • often drink or use alone in order to avoid hassles from family or friends • drink or use on weekends in order to avoid disruptions to work or school schedules • engage in illegal activity related to use; arrests / legal problems resulting from use • See TIP 42, PP 22-23, Burton, Cox & Fleisher-Bond, 2001

  9. DEPENDENCE • drink or use because of a compulsion, (i.e. “have to”) • drink or use constantly, often daily • almost always drink to intoxication and use to the point of significant impairment • drink or use to avoid withdrawal • have experienced numerous problems in several areas of life functioning and continue to use despite these problems • suffer from the disease of addiction, marked by loss of control • have marked tolerance to alcohol and drugs of abuse • may experience withdrawal when use is discontinued • TIP 42, P.23, Burton, Cox, & Fleisher-Bond, 2001, P. 23

  10. Defining Loss of Control • using more than intended or over a longer period of time than intended • unsuccessful efforts to reduce, control or discontinue use, (i.e. being unable to keep promises to self and others to quit, relapsing following treatment interventions) • excessive time spent getting substances, using them and/or recovering from their effects • continuing to use despite the presence of intense physical and/or psychological problems created or worsened by use (APA, 1994), TIP 42, PP 21-23.

  11. Physiological Dependence • increased tolerance: requiring more and more of a substance in order to get the desired effect, (i.e. “I used to catch a buzz on one or two beers, now I can drink a six pack and not really feel it.”); decrease in the desired effect when the same amount of a substance is taken (APA, 1994) • withdrawal: experiencing physical symptoms of the withdrawal syndrome for the specific substance taken upon discontinuing use; the symptoms cause impairment in functioning; continuing to use a substance in order to avoid withdrawal (APA, 1994)

  12. Mental Disorders . Disorders are defined by: • sets of symptoms that, • occur over time, and • lead to an inability to function the way a person wants to or is required to. • Further, they do not occur exclusively during the course of substance use, and • are not better accounted for by medical conditions

  13. Classifying Mental Disorders • Psychotic Disorders: schizophrenia, all types; other psychotic disorders • Mood Disorders: depressive disorders, all types; bipolar disorders, all types • Anxiety Disorders: phobias, PTSD, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder • Behavioral Disorders: personality disorders, all types (clusters A, B, and C) • TIP 42, PP23-26, Burton, Cox, Fleisher-Bond 2001, PP 35-42
