This brief is a critique of the brain disease model and many supposed implications of that model. It begins with a brief history of the model and moves to a discussion of the motivations behind the characterization of addiction as a “chronic and relapsing brain disease.” We follow with an enumeration of fallacious inferences based upon the brain disease model, including the very notion that addiction becomes a “brain disease” simply because it has neurobiological correlates. Regardless of whether addiction is labeled a brain disease, the real question, we contend, is whether the behavioral manifestations of addiction are unresponsive to …
Constructing The 'Addict': A Discourse Analysis Of National Newspapers Concerning North America's First Supervised Injection Site, Katie Sills
Social Justice and Community Engagement
Safe injection sites provide injection drug users with a safe space to inject drugs with clean supplies under the supervision of medical professionals. This study centres on a discursive analysis of newspaper representations of Insite, North America’s first supervised injection site, located in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Insite opened in 2003 under an exemption from the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and has provided benefits to its clients through a reduction in public injections, decreased spread of infectious disease, and by providing clients with referrals to other community and social services. Despite these accomplishments the Canadian …

Contraceptive Counseling Practices Among Providers Prescribing Opiates To Women Of Childbearing Age, Lucy A. Iselborn
Honors College
Opiate use has reached epidemic levels in the United States, resulting in 28,647 deaths in 2014 alone. Prenatally, opioids are used for both pain management and to assist with opiate dependency. The level of risk associated with the use of opiates is much higher for pregnant women, and women of childbearing age, due to the detrimental effects opiates have on the developing fetus including, neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). Maine is leading the nation in the number of NAS births with incidence rates of greater than 30 per 1,000 hospital births. Pregnancy prevention is an upstream approach to reduce unintended pregnancy …

There is a constant debate that employers are not adequately prepared to hire individuals in addiction recovery for a number of reasons. Literature suggests lack of awareness, knowledge, and skills necessary to interact with individuals in addiction recovery as common factors impacting employment outcomes. The purpose of the study was to use open-ended questions to examine employer perspectives toward hiring individuals in addiction recovery. Furthermore, the authors examined gender, business industry, and employer profession to identify any common factors between groups. Major themes in the study included employability, available supports and resources for business owners, influence of societal biases, and …

The Use And Abuse Of Mutual-Support Programs In Drug Courts, Sara Gordon
The Use And Abuse Of Mutual-Support Programs In Drug Courts, Sara Gordon
Scholarly Works
There is a large gap between what we know about the disease of addiction and its appropriate treatment, and the treatment received by individuals who are ordered into treatment as a condition of participation in drug court. Most medical professionals are not appropriately trained about addiction and most addiction treatment providers do not have the education and training necessary to provide appropriate evidence-based services to individuals who are referred by drug courts for addiction treatment. This disconnect between our understanding of addiction and available addiction treatment has wide-reaching impact for individuals who attempt to receive medical care for addiction in …
