NIDA’s Principles of Treatment• No single treatment is appropriate for all
individuals.
• Treatment needs to be readily available.
• Treatment must attend to multiple needs of the individual, not just drug use.
• Multiple courses of treatment may be required for success.
• Remaining in treatment for an adequate period of time is critical for treatment effectiveness.

ASAM Definition of Addiction Addiction is a primary, chronic disease of
brain reward, motivation, memory and related circuitry. Dysfunction in these circuits leads to characteristic biological, psychological, social and spiritual manifestations. This is reflected in an individual pathologically pursuing reward and/or relief by substance use and other behaviors.
ASAM Definition of Addiction Addiction is characterized by the
inability to consistently abstain, impairment in behavioral control, craving, diminished recognition of significant problems with one’s behaviors and a dysfunctional emotional response. Like other chronic diseases, addiction often involves cycles of relapse and remission. Without treatment or engagement in recovery activities, addiction is progressive and can result in disability or death.
What is different about this definition? The focus in the past has been generally
on substances associated with addiction.
The new definition clarifies that addiction isn't about drugs, it’s about brains.
It is not the substance or the quantity or frequency of use that makes them an addict. Addiction is about what happens in the reward circuitry of the brain when exposed to a rewarding substance or behavior.

Concerns About DSM-5 Changes
1. Would significantly increase the number of people being diagnosed with addiction.
2. The APA has not allowed enough discussion regarding these changes (secondary gain).
3. It could create false epidemics and medicalication of everyday behavior.
4. Possible boundary issues between DSM panel members and the pharmaceutical companies.
