- lack of access to other coping mechanism, helathcare
99
how is availability associated with substance abuse disorder?
- easier access = high use (liquor stores, dispensaries, prescriptions)
- regions with high alcohol and drug availability report increased misues
100
what are the biological treatments for substance use disorder?
- agonist substitution: safe drug with a similar chemical composition as the abused drug (e.g., methadone for heroin; nicotine gum or patch)
- antagonistic treatment: drugs that block the positive effects of substances (e.g., naltrexone for opiate and alcohol problems)
