Showing papers in "Drug and Alcohol Dependence in 2009"


Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: Several studies suggest that energy drinks may serve as a gateway to other forms of drug dependence, and regulatory implications concerning labeling and advertising, and the clinical implications for children and adolescents are discussed.

910 citations


Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: SBIRT was feasible to implement and the self-reported patient status at 6 months indicated significant improvements over baseline, for illicit drug use and heavy alcohol use, with functional domains improved, across a range of health care settings and a rangeof patients.

630 citations


Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: Delayed discounting may provide a variable by which to screen for smoking vulnerability and help identify subgroups to target for more intensive smoking prevention efforts that include novel behavioral components directed toward aspects of impulsivity.

374 citations


Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: Higher age of onset of any SU is found to be associated with faster transitions to SUD, except for cannabis dependence, which may have important implications for designing early and targeted interventions to prevent disorder progression.

315 citations


Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: Mortality among treatment-seeking opioid-dependent persons is dynamic across time, patient and treatment variables, and despite periods of elevated risk, this large-scale provision of pharmacotherapy is estimated to have resulted in significant reductions in mortality.

315 citations


Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: Results indicated that the harmful drinkers had larger AAB than the hazardous and the social drinkers; (b) the attentional training reduced thehazardous and harmful drinkers' AAB; and (c) the hazardous drinkers showed post-training reductions in alcohol consumption and improvements on the other drinking-related indices.

283 citations


Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: Data on developmental trends of alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana use, abuse and dependence assessed during adolescence and young adulthood in a community-based Colorado twin sample of 1733 respondents is presented.

262 citations


Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: The findings indicate subtypes should be considered when examining nonmedical prescription drug misuse, especially for pain medication, and the odds of substance use and abuse were generally lower among self-treatment subtypes than other subtypes.

257 citations


Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: Despite demonstrated social, medical, and economic benefits of providing ORT to inmates during incarceration and linkage to ORT upon release, many prison systems nationwide still do not offer pharmacological treatment for opiate addiction or referrals to community buprenorphine providers.

231 citations


Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: Findings indicate that high levels of DRD reflect a risk factor for poor smoking cessation treatment response and interrelationships among the variables assessed and clinical strategies to improve outcomes for smokers who are high in DRD are discussed.

223 citations


Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: Data suggest that modafinil, in combination with individual behavioral therapy, was effective for increasing cocaine non-use days in participants without co-morbid alcohol dependence, and in reducing cocaine craving.

Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: While acamprosate and buprenorphine grew rapidly after market entry, overall substance abuse retail medication sales remain small relative to the size of the population that could benefit from treatment and relative to sales for other medications, such as antidepressants.

Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: After initiating opioid agonist treatment in jail, continuing buprenorphine maintenance in the community appears to be more acceptable to offenders than continuing methadone maintenance.

Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: The negative impact of the program on baseline nonusers of alcohol and tobacco indicate that TCYL should not be delivered as a universal prevention intervention, and the finding of a beneficial effect for baseline marijuana users further supports this conclusion.

Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: The current "gold standard" methodologies that are used for laboratory assessments of abuse liability in non-human and human subjects are described and particular emphasis is given to procedures such as non- human drug discrimination, self-administration, and physical dependence testing, and human dose-effect abuse liability studies that are commonly used in regulatory submissions to governmental agencies.

Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: In this short-term study, buprenorphine was associated with lower overdose risk than methadone, and the risk of overdose death per thousand people in treatment was lower for bup Renorphine than for methad one.

Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: The AUDIT and its abbreviated versions are valid for detecting heavy drinking also in a general population sample, however, performance seems to vary between the different versions and accuracy of each test is achieved only by using tailored cut points according to gender.

Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: Route of administration may play an important role in the observed association between tobacco and cannabis use, and may represent a physiological adaptation of the aero-respiratory system and/or index social and cultural influences surrounding the use of smoked versus smokeless forms of tobacco.

Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: Differences in affective processing in chronic smokers are suggested, even when stimuli are presented below the level of conscious processing, and underscore the likelihood that marijuana smokers process emotional information differently from those who do not smoke, which may result in negative consequences.

Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: A general vulnerability to nonmedical opioid use and major psychopathologies is supported, as well as evidence for a 'self-medication' model for dependence resulting from non medical opioid use with bipolar disorder and generalized anxiety disorder.

Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that smoking marijuana in a tobacco leaf may increase the risks of marijuana use by enhancing carbon monoxide exposure and increasing heart rate compared to joints, and these effects were more pronounced in women compared to men.

Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: The durability of the CBT4CBT effect remained even after controlling for treatment retention, treatment substance use outcomes, and exposure to other treatment during the follow-up period, suggesting both short-term and enduring effects on drug use.

Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: Findings of psychometric fidelity indicate that theMCQ-SF is a reliable and valid measure of the same multidimensional aspects of marijuana craving as the MCQ in marijuana users not seeking treatment.

Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: The COWS was validated in comparison to the validated Clinical Institute Narcotic Assessment (CINA) scale, indicating good internal consistency (reliability) and certain VAS items are all valid measurement tools for acute opiate withdrawal.

Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: Although the prevalence of substance use among pregnant women was significantly lower than non-pregnant women, some groups of women remain vulnerable to continued use, including those who are unemployed, unmarried, and experiencing possible current psychopathology.

Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: Comorbid anxiety and/or substance use disorder are clinically identifiable, and their presence may define distinct MDD subgroups that have more problems and worse pharmacological treatment outcomes.

Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: The outcomes observed in the experimental condition suggest that integrating CM abstinence-based approaches with other empirically based outpatient interventions provides an alternative and efficacious treatment model for adolescent substance abuse/dependence.

Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: Gender-specific factors should be taken into account in efforts to screen and identify those at highest risk of prescription opioid abuse and prevention and intervention efforts with a gender-specific approach are warranted.

Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: Three distinct types of patient classes are described as well as data elements that could help identify the two atypical types and prescribed average daily dose of opioids was three times higher for those in the twoatypical groups and was strongly associated with class membership after adjusting for other variables.

Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the VTA is prominently involved in cue-induced opioid craving for heroin stimuli, in addition to mesolimbic and mesocortical pathways as identified in previous research.
