IC & RC Study Guide CAGE ✔• The briefest and most widely used. • Only four questions asked directly to the person. • If someone answers yes to one of the questions then there is an indicator that their might be a problem that needs to be further investigated. • If they answer yes to two or more they are sent for further testing. • Advantages-yes or no questions • Disadvantages-not asking about time frame, self report, not in depth about environment, not in depth MAST ✔• Widely used • Good reliability and validity • Original had 25 self administered questions the one now has only 22. • Advantages-it could be a reality check to someone taking it, not very time consuming, simple yes and no • Disadvantage-it doesn't ask you to explain, doesn't ask time frame AUDIT ✔• Ten items 1-3 frequency and quantity 4-6 alcohol dependence 7-10 how harmful alcohol use. • Advantages-you can use it in an interview, it's not that long, it's more specific • Disadvantage-not specific enough, doesn't add in the times when drinking is more acceptable like vacation etc., not valid • Can be self report questionnaire or an interview DAST ✔Screen drugs other than alcohol POSIT ✔139 items on it Used for substance use problems and social, behavioral, and learning problems Disadvantages-too long, repetitious, lack of consistency Advantages-more detailed SASSI ✔• Doesn't directly question about alcohol/drug use (not like the previous ones) • Around 50 questions • Asks questions about alcohol/drug use on one side and don't on the other • Looking for defensiveness, looking at others, personal affect • Disadvantages-could be hard to profile DSM Axises ✔o Axis I-Clinical syndromes • Alcohol abuse, cannabis dependency o Axis II-Personality disorders/mental retardation • Not used very often in alcohol or chemical use o Axis III-Medical Conditions • Psuerosis of the liver o Axis IV-Psychosocial/environmental stressors • Losing kids because of substance abuse, lacks good social support system o Axis V-Global assessment of functioning • 0-100 how the person is functioning overall Narcotics possible effects ✔Euphoria, drowsiness, respiratory depression, constricted pupils, nausea Narcotics effects of OD ✔Slow/shallow breathing, clammy skin, convulsions, coma, and possible death Narcotics withdrawal syndrome ✔Water eyes, runny nose, yawning, loss of appetite, irritability, tremors, panic, cramps, nausea, chills, sweating.

Cocaine action ✔affects dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin levels. Blocks re-uptake of dopamine, prolonging dopamine effects. Depleats it with prolonged use. Toxic effects on cardiac, respiratory, and cns. Amphetamines and Methylphenidate action (stimulant) ✔Direct neuron release of dopamine and norepinepherine and blockade of catecholamine re-uptake produce euphoric effects.

Dependence usually involves a physical and or psychological need for the drug in order to function normally and it usually involves tolerance and withdrawal. Physical dependence ✔a state of functional adaptation to a drug in which the presence of a foreign chemical becomes normal and necessary, and the absence of the drug would present an abnormal state. Psychological dependence ✔when the individual has a strong desire to continue to use the drug for emotional reasons and is related to the rewarding effects of the drug. There are no physical withdrawal symptoms with the discontinuation of use. Cross-dependence ✔this is evident when a person who is physically dependent on one drug can lessen or prevent withdrawal symptoms by using other drugs from the same or similar classification. Tolerance ✔an altered physiological state that develops after repeated drug use when the body becomes accustomed and adapts to the presence of the drug and functions normally. Evidence of this is when the drug has less of an effect when using the same dose, or when a larger dose must be used to get the desired effect. Pharmacodynamic tolerance ✔when the nerve cells become less sensitive to the effects of the drug over time and repeated use metabolic tolerance ✔when the liver adapts to the presence of a drug over time and may produce more of the enzyme needed to break down the drug. behavioral tolerance ✔when after a period of time and repeated drug use, the users are able to modify their behavior in hopes that others will not notice they are intoxicated reverse tolerance ✔when the individual can become more sensitive to the drug's effects rather than less sensitive. Also known as the kindling effect. half-life ✔the length of time a drug remains in the body and continues to affect the user. effective dose ✔the amount of a drug necessary to get the desired effect in about 50 percent of those who use the drug therapeutic index ✔the dose determined to be safe for use and get the desired effect; determined by dividing the lethal dose by the effective dose potency ✔the amount of a drug necessary to produce the desired effect. drug interaction classifications ✔addititive, synergistic, antagonistic additive effects ✔two or more drugs are used at the same time and the results are equal to the sum of the actions of the drugs used. synergistic interactions ✔when two or more drugs are used at the same time, and the results are greater that the sum of the actions of the drugs used. antagonistic interactions ✔occur when two or more drugs are used at the same time, and the results are less than the sum of the actions of the drugs or the drugs cancel out the effects of each other. Routes of administration ✔how a person takes substances into the body oral administration ✔taken by mouth and swallowed into the stomach. injected ✔using a needle and syringe subcutaneously ✔skin-popping, injecting in the fatty layer just under the external skin. intramuscularly ✔injected into the large muscles intravenously ✔injected directly into a vein inhalation ✔substances can be inhaled into the lungs by smoking or huffing snorting ✔drugs can be inhaled into the nose and absorbed through the mucous membranes. transdermal ✔the drug is absorbed through the skin from a patch. buccal administration ✔the drug is absorbed through the mucous membranes in the mouth. rectal administration ✔Drugs are administered by inserting them into he body through the rectum and are absorbed through the intestinal lining. neorotransmitters ✔GABA, norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, acetylcholine. GABA ✔relates to inhibitory factors and slows communication. Norepinephrine ✔associated with arousal reactions and moods. Dopamine ✔decreased inhibition, slowed reaction times, memory impairment, possible decrease in respirations, slurred speech, ataxia, Symptoms of Stimulant intoxication ✔increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure and temperature, decreased respiration. dilated pupils, dry mouth, cardiac arrhythmias, twitching tremors, impaired judgment, confusion, disinhibited behavior, paranoid thoughts, hypervigilance, hallucinations, elation. Symptoms of PCP adverse reactions ✔psychotic reactions, bizarre behavior, outbursts of hostility and violence, severe anxiety, doom or impending death. Adverse Ketamine reacation ✔Completed sensory detachment, explained as a near-death experience, paranoia, boredom and possible coma. Symptoms of cannabinoid intoxication ✔slowed reaction time, altered perceptions, panic, anxiety, nausea, dizziness, depersonalization, paranoid thoughts, trouble expressing thoughts. May cause increases in respiration and heart rate and a slight increase in body temperature. Red eyes, mild dilation, mild tremors, decreased coordination, decreased strength, less ability to perform complex motor tasks and dry mouth. Symptoms of Inhalant intoxication ✔reduction of inhibition and euphoria, dizziness, slurred speech, unsteady gait and drowsiness. Nystagmus may be noted, altered consciousness and enhanced sexual pleasure. Nystagmus ✔the constant involuntary movement of the eyes. Ataxia ✔impaired gait Whether we see drug use as a problem depends on all of the following: ✔Reason one takes a drug Quantity consumed and the manner by which one takes the drug When and where the drug is used The age of the individual taking the drug In reference to psychoactive drug use, it is important to recognize that: ✔History and expectations influence how one is affected by a drug.

What is their duration? What is the intensity? Identification of the disorder is determined by symptom clusters of certain intensity and duration. AXIS II: DETERMINE THE PRESENCE OF PERSONALITY DISORDER OR MENTAL RETARDATION ✔Maladaptive patterns must be "embedded in the personality" so the pattern of response is the same whether to family, friends or strangers regardless of setting.
