2. What is Addiction?
Addiction â defined as a chronically relapsing disorder
that is characterized by a compulsion to seek and take
drug or stimulus, loss of control in limiting intake, and
emergence of a negative emotional state (e.g. dysphoria,
anxiety, irritability) when access to the drug or stimulus
is prevented (here, defined as the âdark sideâ of
addiction)
3. What is Compulsive Use?
Compulsive drug seeking-- can be characterized as a maladaptive stimulusresponse habits in which the ultimate goal of the behaviour has been
devalued, perhaps through tolerance to the rewarding effects of the drug
(Everitt BJ, Belin D, Economidou D, Pelloux Y, Dalley JW, Robbins TW. Philos
Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci 2008, 363:3125-3135.)
Compulsivity â can be defined as perseveration of responding in the face of
adverse consequences or perseveration in the face of incorrect responses
in choice situations.
Compulsive disorders âare characterized by anxiety and stress before
committing a compulsive repetitive behavior, and relief from the stress by
performing the compulsive behavior (DSM IV American Psychiatric
Association).

8. âWhen people talk about drugs, they assume
people take drugs because they enjoy it,â Williams
told the Toronto Star. âBut really, it's no different
from overeating or watching too much television or
drinking too much. You take drugs to make
yourself feel better, to fill a hole.â
-Ricky Williams
-Byline Damien Cox, Toronto Star, May 29, 2006
9. Bottom Lines: Common Elements of
Addiction
1. Addiction is a reward deficit disorder
2. Addiction is a stimulus- response perseveration
disorder
3. Addiction is a stress surfeit disorder
4. Addiction is an executive function deficit
disorder
10. Theoretical Framework Relating Addiction
Cycle to Motivation for Drug Seeking
From: Koob GF. Theoretical frameworks and mechanistic aspects of alcohol addiction: alcohol addiction as a reward
deficit disorder. In: Spanagel R, Sommer W (eds) Behavioral Neurobiology of Alcohol Addiction (series title:
Current Topics in Behavioral Neuroscience), Springer, New York, in press.
11. Positive and Negative Reinforcement- Definitions
Positive Reinforcement â defined as the process by which
presentation of a stimulus (drug) increases the probability of a response
(non dependent drug taking paradigms).
Negative Reinforcement âdefined as a process by which removal of
an aversive stimulus (negative emotional state of drug withdrawal)
increases the probability of a response (dependence-induced drug taking)

32. Reward Craving-Type 1
â˘
âCravingâ- induced by stimuli that have been paired with drug selfadministration such as environmental cues
â˘
An animal model of craving- type 1 is cue induced reinstatement
where a cue previously paired with access to drug reinstates
responding for a lever that has been extinguished.
â˘
Neurobiological substrates include glutamatergic projections from
medial prefrontal cortex and basolateral amygdala to nucleus
accumbens

34. Relief Craving-Type 2
â˘
State of protracted abstinence in subjects with addiction or alcoholism
weeks after acute withdrawal.
â˘
Conceptualized as a state change characterized by anxiety and dysphoria or
a residual negative emotional state that combines with Craving-Type 1
situations to produce relapse to excessive drug taking
â˘
Animal models of Craving-Type 2 include stress-induced reinstatement and
increased drug taking in animals during protracted abstinence
â˘
Neurobiological substrates include residual activation of brain stress
systems including corticotropin releasing factor and norepinephrine in the
extended amygdala
41. Treatments for the Light Side of Addiction
Treatments for the Light (binge) side of drug addiction can be conceptualized
within the 2 stages of the addiction cycle:
â Binge/Intoxication stage
â Preoccupation/anticipation (âcravingâ) stage
Treatments for the light side currently exist from the perspective of the
binge/intoxication and preoccupation/anticipation (âcravingâ) stages stage of
the addiction cycle:
â naltrexone (ReVia, Vivitrol)
â buprenorphine (Suboxone, Subutex)
â varenicline (Chantix)
â nicotine patch, nicotine gum
â methadone
Novel treatments for the light side can derived from our understanding of the
neurobiological basis of drug reward and cue induced craving:
â glutamate
â dopamine partial agonists
â opioid peptide partial agonists
â vaccines
â orexin (hypocretin)
42. Treatments for the Dark Side of Addiction
Treatments for the dark (withdrawal/negative affect) side of drug addiction can be
conceptualized within the 2 stages of the addiction cycle:
â Withdrawal/negative affect stage
â Preoccupation/anticipation (âcravingâ) stage
Treatments for the dark side currently exist from the perspective of the
withdrawal/ negative affect and preoccupation/anticipation (âcravingâ) stages
stage of the addiction cycle:
â Methadone (Dolophine)
â Buprenorphine (Suboxone, Subutex)
â Varenicline (Chantix)
â Nicotine patch, nicotine gum
â Acamprosate (Campral)
â Bupropion (Zyban)
Novel treatments for the dark side can derived from our understanding of the
neurobiological basis of emotional dysregulation during withdrawal and
protracted abstinence:
â corticotropin releasing factor
â dynorphin
â Substance P
â norepinephrine
â vasopressin
â Orexin (hypocretin)

2005
⢠Disulfiram is an acetaldehyde dehydrogenase inhibitor used to
prevent relapse in detoxified alcoholics. Disulfiram at average
therapeutic doses of 250 mg/day (not to exceed 500 mg/day) blocks
acetaldehyde dehydrogenase.
⢠Disulfiram produces an aversive reaction if the subject drinks with
adequate blood levels of disulfiram presumably due to increased
acetaldehyde in the blood stream which is similar to the intense
flush reaction of Asians known to have a deletion of one or two
alleles of the ALDH2 gene.
⢠Methadone, a long-acting opioid, was developed as a substitution
treatment for opioid addiction because of its properties of being
orally active with a long half-life. Methadone also has become the
standard medication for opioid detoxification.
⢠Methadone is effective in reducing illicit opioid use at doses of 80120 mg/day.
⢠Naltrexone is a competitive opioid antagonist that has oral
bioavailability and binds to the m, d, and k opioid receptors, with a
higher affinity for the m than d or k receptors.
⢠Naltrexone decreases heavy drinking in alcoholics and prevents
relapses to heavy drinking at doses of 50 mg/day. Naltrexone has
more efficacy when combined with associated behavioral
treatments, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy.

⢠Bupropion is an antidepressant with efficacy in smoking cessation
that has beneficial effects on protracted abstinence consistent with
its antidepressant properties.
⢠Bupropion at doses of 150-300 mg/day effectively doubled
abstinence rates after 1 year.
⢠Buprenorphine is an oripavine derivative that is considered a partial
agonist at m, k, and nociceptin/orphanin FQ receptors and an
antagonist at d receptors.
⢠Multiple controlled studies have shown that maintenance therapy
with buprenorphine is an effective treatment for opioid dependence
at doses of 16-24 mg/day (maximum 32 mg/day).
⢠Buprenorphine can be prescribed as a sublingual tablet consisting
of buprenorphine (Subutex#) or as a sublingual tablet consisting of
buprenorphine with naloxone (Suboxone#). The addition of
naloxone limits diversion because naloxone is inactive when taken
orally, but if the preparation is diverted to intravenous use, the
naloxone will block the effects of buprenorphine.

Alcohol addiction
2004
⢠Acamprosate is an indirect partial agonist at the NMDA glutamate
receptor and an antagonist at metabotropic glutamate receptors
used to prevent relapse in detoxified alcoholics. Doses are typically
two 333 mg tablets three times per day.
⢠In a U.S. multicenter double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of
acamprosate, treatment efficacy was particularly robust in patients
who had a clearly identified goal of achieving abstinence before
starting treatment.
Varenicline
Chantix
Nicotine addiction
2006
⢠Varenicline is a partial $4%2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist
used for detoxification and treatment of nicotine addiction. Doses of
1 mg twice per day doubled abstinence rates in 12-week trials.
⢠Varenicline has been associated with a number of reports of
adverse effects related to suicidal ideation. As a result, the use of
Chantix# is no longer accepted by the Federal Aviation
Administration for aeromedical certification purposes.
⢠Oral slow release nicotine via nicotine chewing gum (2 or 4 mg) or
lozenges or percutaneous administration via the nicotine patch are
used for detoxification of nicotine addiction. Both the gum and patch
facilitate abstinence as an aid to smoking cessation.

46. Key Findings and Conclusions
Acute reinforcing effects of drugs of abuseâ depend on neurochemical
substrates such as GABA, opioid peptides, serotonin, glutamate and dopamine in
the ventral striatum of the basal forebrain.
Acute withdrawal from all major drugs of abuse â produces decreases in
reward function, increases in stress-like responses and increases in CRF in the
amygdala that are of motivational significance
Compulsive drug use associated with dependenceâ is mediated by not only
loss of function of reward systems but recruitment of brain stress systems such
as corticotropin releasing factor, dynorphin, substance P, norepinephrine,
vasopressin, orexin (hypocretin), neuropeptide Y,nociceptinin the extended
amygdala
Changes in natural reward function (decreases) and stress sensitivity
(increases) : are hypothesized to persist in protracted abstinence and contribute
to the motivation to relapse and re-escalate compulsive drug use
