摘要:

Recidivism rates and recidivism proportions for return to a state of daily opioid use following discharge from drug abuse treatment were studied for a sample of Black and White male daily opioid users. The rates and proportions were analyzed by treatment type and time in treatment. Significantly higher recidivism proportions were found for shorter tenure clients.

摘要:

The records of 239 infants born to 228 women dependent on narcotic drugs were reviewed to determine if type of drug abused and adequacy of prenatal care would affect pregnancy and fetal outcome. Seventy-nine (33%) pregnancies occurred in women on supervised methadone maintenance, 78 (32%) in women on unsupervised methadone maintenance, 49 (21%) in women on street heroin, and 33 (14%) in women who were multiple drug users. Although the presence of withdrawal symptoms did not differ with respect to type of drug abused, the outcome was significantly better in those infants born to women on supervised methadone maintenance as compared to all other groups (p<0.001). There was no demonstrable relationship between the number of prenatal visits to the clinic and fetal outcome. A relationship could not be demonstrated between the maintenance dose during pregnancy and the presence of withdrawal symptoms in the infants born to women on supervised methadone maintenance. The findings of the study suggest that supervised methadone maintenance is compatible with an uneventful pregnancy and delivery. Neonatal complications, with the exception of withdrawal, do not appear to differ from that seen among infants born to nondrug dependent women.

摘要:

The literature linking family-related drug abuse research and a life-span perspective is reviewed. Data are presented suggesting that drug abuse may be a problem at any point in the life-span and that the family is a natural laboratory for research dealing with this problem. Three subsets of the family/drug abuse literature relevant to a life-span perspective–Systems, Intergenerational, and Life-Cycle Studies-are identified and major studies within each briefly reviewed. Finally, in order to make a first step toward the integration of a life-span orientation with more traditional drug abuse research approaches, an extensive list of content-related and methodological research questions is suggested.

摘要:

The Quantitative Inventory of Alcohol Disorders (QIAD) was developed to meet the need in the field of alcoholism treatment for an accurate, easily administered diagnostic tool which can measure theseverityof alcoholism. This inventory is designed to be administered both on initial contact and as a follow-up after a given period of treatment. In addition to clearly differentiating alcoholic from nonalcoholic populations, the QIAD also proved to be both reliable and valid in comparison to other currently used severity (DBI) and diagnostic (MAST, DRC, NCA) scales.

摘要:

Three cases of hallucinatory delirium preceded by prodromal symptoms of several months duration are described. The prodromes were reoccurring visual and tactile hallucinations which were misdiagnosed and ascribed to nonalcohol-related illness such as schizophrenia and disorders of mood.

摘要:

A survey of clinical case histories revealed the presence of grief in 12 out of 50 consecutive admissions in an alcohol treatment center. Eight additional cases were added to this series. The bereavements had occurred in 14 established alcoholics, and initiated alcoholism in six patients, five of whom described close relatives with excess alcohol intake. This study demonstrated the different ways in which grief effected patterns of alcohol consumption. The chronic intoxicated state could also influence the expression of grief and the process of mourning. Resolution of mourning could occur concurrent with increased intake. Pseudo-grief in the heightened emotional state of the withdrawal phase could be transient. Variants of pathological grief were present in half(N= 10) of whom five came from the initial survey group. Its form of expression could be related to premorbid personality. Completion of the withdrawal phase was found essential for meaningful diagnostic assessment. The resolution of pathological grief was not inevitably associated with containment of alcohol intake after treatment. The responses to marital loss by separation or divorce were examined in the survey group. This social disruption was subsequent to problem drinking. The divorced patients accepted this social change better than the separated group. The apparent yet infrequent role of bereavement as an etiological or precipitant factor in the production of an alcohol-dependence syndrome is unclear. Pathological grief in the alcoholic is a problem of unknown magnitude, and first admission with this complication can occur several years after the event. The literature does not clearly define the relationships between alcoholism, admission for treatment, and pathological grief, but suggests loss to be a potent factor in completed suicide. Variations in grief responses in the alcoholic apparently have not been hitherto studied.

摘要:

Sober chronic alcoholic males, sober nonalcoholic males, and intoxicated nonalcoholic males were assessed along several psychological dimensions by means of the content analysis of speech. Average cognitive impairment scores were significantly greater among intoxicated nonalcoholics than sober chronic alcoholics and significantly greater in sober chronic alcoholics than in sober nonalcoholics. Sober chronic alcoholics, also, had a significantly higher score than sober nonalcoholics on depression, social alienation-personal disorganization (schizoid traits), separation, guilt, and diffuse anxiety, and hostility inward. The general mental health, including cognitive function, of sober chronic alcoholics is clearly impaired when compared to sober nonalcoholic individuals.

摘要:

The purpose of the present research was to assess the treatment effectiveness of a multi-modality alcoholism treatment program with older alcoholic patients. Treatment success was defined as 1 year of sobriety following inpatient treatment in a multicomponent program oriented around aversion conditioning to alcohol. A total of 87 patients, 65 years or older, were admitted, and a total of 78 patients were treated in the Raleigh Hills Hospital-Portland over a 2-year period. Descriptive psychological test data, demographic characteristics, and symptom history data were obtained for these patients and related to treatment outcome. This population of elderly alcoholic patients treated as successfully as younger patients. Their abstinence percentage combined for the two treatment years was 65.4% continuous sobriety over a 12-month follow-up period.
