In our ongoing look at treating substance abuse in America, we turn to the most commonly used drug, and one of the deadliest: alcohol. Drinking kills more Americans every year than opioids or any other illegal drug. But promising treatments that could help people curb their drinking are barely being used. William Brangham reports.

Craving changes in first 14 days of addiction treatment: an outcome predictor of 5 years substance use status? | Translational Psychiatry

Craving changes in first 14 days of addiction treatment: an outcome predictor of 5 years substance use status? | Translational Psychiatry | Substance Abuse | Scoop.it
From www.nature.com - December 17, 2024 7:00 PM

Addiction is considered a chronic disorder that requires long-term treatment. Early identification of predictors of outcome may enable better and early adjustment of treatment. Daily fluctuations of craving have been shown to predict substance use within hours, making it a major target for treatment. The objective of this study was to examine whether trajectory and temporal dynamics of craving, at the initiation of outpatient addiction treatment, were associated to long-term substance use outcome.
