Description Summarize a chosen case study, describe the featured drug, explain if the situation in the case study qualifies as a substance abuse disorder, and describe the treatment that could be implemented (5-6 double-spaced pages).Introduction First, you will explore one category of addictive drugs: opiates and analgesia. These both have medical applications, despite their addictive potential. After exploring opiates, you will look at the biological mechanisms behind addiction. Over the years, we’ve learned a great deal about the changes in the brain that coincide with substance abuse. Then, once you know about how the brain acts with addiction, you will explore the most common recreational drugs and legal recreational drugs and their effects on the brain.Overview For this assessment, you will either listen to the case studies in the Case Studies: Hector, Rose, and Tyler media piece, or read the case studies below. Then, you will choose one of the case studies to write about in your assessment. Next, you will describe the case study, the drug in the case study, how the case study meets or does not meet criteria for a substance abuse disorder, and treatment that might treat the substance abuse disorder.Case Studies Listen to the media piece Case Studies: Hector, Rose, and Tyler. You can read the same case studies below as reference for your assessment. Hector: Hector is a 42-year-old man who has a long history of sports injuries. His doctor prescribed codeine after he shattered his knee in a climbing accident last year. Even though his knee has healed, Hector continues to crave codeine. When he could no longer find a doctor to prescribe it, he started looking for other ways to get it and found a dealer who would sell it to him. As a result of his codeine use, his work suffered until he lost his job a month ago. Rose: Rose is a 32-year-old woman who does LSD on weekends to party. She’s noticed that even in the middle of the week (when she hasn’t done LSD recently), she’ll have flashbacks to previous drug-induced hallucinations. When this occurs at work, she does her best to hide it but it’s been getting more difficult. She’s sure her co-workers notice but she shrugs it off with jokes about being distracted. Tyler: Tyler is a 26-year-old male. Four years ago, the woman he was dating talked him into trying meth. At first, he’d just use meth with his girlfriend on weekends. Over the past few weeks, he’s found himself using meth as soon as he gets home from his construction job and he craves it while he is at work. His boss has commented on the changes he’s noticed at work, but Tyler is sure the meth use makes him a better employee as he has more energy. Instructions Choose one of the three case studies, and in your assessment: Describe the case study briefly. Describe the drug featured in the case study, including: The biological actions and effects of the drug. The behavioral and psychological effects of the drug. At least two scholarly sources. In addition, you can use information from the National Institute on Drug Abuse and the Psychopharmacology text. Explain how the case study meets or does not meet the criteria for a substance abuse disorder. Describe any medical or pharmacological treatment that might treat the substance abuse disorder.
