About this ebook
Substance Dependence offers a comprehensive exploration into the complex world of addiction, examining how substances impact both the body and mind. It reveals that dependence isn't solely a physical issue but also involves intricate psychological and social factors. For example, the book delves into how substances can alter brain chemistry, impacting cognitive functions and emotional regulation, while also highlighting how social environments can significantly influence substance use behaviors.
The book uniquely integrates neurobiological, psychological, and social perspectives to provide a holistic understanding of substance dependence. Organized into three parts, it begins with foundational concepts and diagnostic criteria, then thoroughly examines the biological, psychological, and social dimensions of addiction. Finally, it culminates in a discussion of current treatment approaches, prevention strategies, and relevant policy implications. This approach ensures readers gain practical insights applicable to healthcare, public health, and personal understanding.
