For example, the 12-month relapse rate among alcoholics is more than 60%, and it is nearly 75% for smokers and heroin users (see Figure 5.15 in Brain and Behavior). One possible reason for treatment failure is the powerful way in which addictive substances affect the brain. Most addictive drugs appear to tap into the brain\u2019s reward circuit, so that any behavior (taking a drug) preceding the psychological experience of reward is strongly reinforced. If addiction is a product of brain activity, it is logical that the treatment also must involve some change in brain activity. In fact, there are several forms of biologically-based drug treatments, including the use of agonist drugs that mimic some of the addictive drugs\u2019 effects (e.g. methadone for heroin addiction), as well as other substances that alter activity in the reward system (such as Baclofen).<\/p>\n<p>Despite the potential for treating drug addiction more successfully than programs involving abstinence alone, many individuals believe that the drug addict is responsible for his or her condition and that using another drug to treat addiction is akin to \u201ccheating.\u201d According to this philosophy, those who become addicted to drugs can be considered fully recovered only if they stop taking the drug and never relapse. There is a debate, then, about whether addiction is a biological\/medical problem, and therefore largely outside of the person\u2019s control, or an inherent psychological problem which the individual needs to overcome by force of will.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/onlineclassesguru.com\/orders\/ordernow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTyj99p60XCLyLk1htB7-1neRt8-2QdnenNlQ&usqp=CAU\"target=\"_http:\/\/onlineclassesguru.com\/orders\/ordernow\"\/><\/center><p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Analyze the extent to which addiction to psychoactive drugs is a biological versus a psychological phenomenon.
