Alcoholism: A Prototype Disease
Alcohol Dependence can be viewed as a prototype of chemical (substance) use and dependence.
E.M. Jellinek, pioneer of the disease model, identified phases of abuse-to-dependence
![Page 3: Disease Entities. Alcoholism: A Prototype Disease Alcohol Dependence can be viewed as a prototype of chemical (substance) use and dependence. E.M.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e165503460f94b0042d/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Jellinek’s Four PhasesThe individual with alcoholism progresses
through these phases.The characteristics of the phases can assist
clients, families and health care providers in understanding 1) the loss of control and 2) ethical deterioration characteristic of individuals with chronic chemical dependency (regardless of the chemical of choice).

Phase I: Pre-alcoholic Phase
Chemical used to relieve stressTolerance develops

Phase II: Early Alcoholic PhaseBegins with the first blackoutThe chemical is no longer associated with
pleasure or reliefThe individual requires the chemicalThe individual is increasingly secretive; becomes
preoccupied with chemical use and maintenance of supply
Individual is increasingly reliant upon the defense mechanisms of denial and rationalization
Use is associated with guilt and shame

Phase III: Middle or Crucial PhaseIndividual demonstrates signs and symptoms
of Physiological and Psychological dependence
Binge use often occursInteractions are characterized by anger and
aggressionFamily dysfunctionIndividual demonstrates impairment in social
and occupational functioning

Phase IV: Late or Chronic PhaseThe individual is almost always intoxicatedEthical deterioration is apparentImpaired reality testing, especially paranoia, is
evidentDepression with suicidal ideation is commonLife-threatening physical consequences are
evident:Peripheral neuritis with LE numbness, painAlcoholic myopathyWernicke-Korsakoff syndromeAlcoholic cardiopathy

Phase IV: Late or Chronic Phase, cont.HepatitisCirrhosis (complications include portal
hypertension, ascites, esophageal varices and hepatic encephalopathy)
Esophagitis and gastritis (ulcers, hemorrhage)
PancreatitisLeukopeniaThrombocytopeniaSexual dysfunction

Alcohol: IntoxicationMetabolism of alcohol is increased in heavy
drinkersWomen more easily intoxicated than men.Effects: CNS depression and Peripheral
vasodilationDecreased muscle tension, lowered anxiety
level, disinhibition, impaired judgment, sedation
Toxic effects: stupor, unconsciousness (including blackouts), coma, death
![Page 12: Disease Entities. Alcoholism: A Prototype Disease Alcohol Dependence can be viewed as a prototype of chemical (substance) use and dependence. E.M.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e165503460f94b0042d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Alcohol WithdrawalUsually develops 4-12 hours after cessation
or reduction of alcohol useRebound phenomenon (CNS irritability) as
drug effects wear off: increased anxiety, tension, psychomotor
activitysweats, tremors, tachycardia, increased temp.
and BPnausea, vomiting, diarrhea
![Page 13: Disease Entities. Alcoholism: A Prototype Disease Alcohol Dependence can be viewed as a prototype of chemical (substance) use and dependence. E.M.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e165503460f94b0042d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Alcohol Withdrawal, cont’dWithdrawal seizures may occur 7-48 hours
after cessation or reductionAlcohol withdrawal delirium (also known
as Delirium Tremens or DTs) may occur 48-72 hours following cessation or reduction- agitation, terror, hallucinations
Use of validated withdrawal assessment rating scale assists in objective description of withdrawal severity
(A Belgian beer is named for this effect)
![Page 14: Disease Entities. Alcoholism: A Prototype Disease Alcohol Dependence can be viewed as a prototype of chemical (substance) use and dependence. E.M.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e165503460f94b0042d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Alcohol: InterventionsSeizure precautions; anticonvulsants for DT’sSuicide assessment and precautions, if necessaryMedications: for withdrawal
Benzodiazepines e.g. chlordiazepoxide (Librium), oxazepam (Serax), diazepam (Valium). Administration may depend on withdrawal rating parameters.
Medications to promote abstinence after detox.disulfiram (Antabuse) = Aversive Therapy; produces
unpleasant or even harmful effects when alcohol is consumed or absorbed in any form (in foods, fluids, cosmetics, medications, etc.).
naltrexone (ReVia) – opiate receptor antagonist-blocks the “high”
acamprosate (Campral) – reduces cravings

SEDATIVES, HYPNOTICS AND ANXIOLYTICSBARBITURATESBENZODIAZEPINES• Are CNS depressants• Commonly prescribed for sleep, anxiety,
muscle spasms, etc.• Also used illicitly, including
• reducing effects of amphetamine abuse• if other narcotics not available• by sexual predators

Sedative, Hypnotic, or Anxiolytic Abuse and DependencePotentiate each other and alcoholProduce physiological dependenceProduce psychological dependenceCross-tolerance and cross-dependence
between CNS depressantsWithdrawal sx.: anxiety, insomnia, nausea,
seizures Overdose and Fatal effects: respiratory
depression, coma, death

OPIOID Abuse and DependenceActivate endorphins, reduce pain and anxietyMany routes of use: po, subcut., IM, IV, inhaledIV use is associated with infection, including
HIV and Hepatitis, bacterial endocarditis, and abscesses
May be prescribed or illicitly obtainedHeroin--highest abuse and dependence

Opioid IntoxicationInitial euphoria Followed by apathy, dysphoria, psychomotor
agitation or retardation, impaired judgmentPupillary constrictionDrowsiness (“nodding”), slurred speechImpaired memory and concentration

Opioid Overdose Pinpoint pupils Clammy skin Respiratory depression Coma (pupils will dilate secondary to anoxia) Death rapidly follows coma
Narcotic antagonist used to reverse overdose: naloxone (Narcan)

Opioid WithdrawalSymptoms very uncomfortable but rarely dangerous:• Dysphoria, anxiety, cravings• Sweating and chills• Lacrimation, rhinorrhea• GI distress (anorexia, n/v, cramping, diarrhea)• Muscle aches, bone pain• Restlessness• Tremors• Sleep disturbances• Yawning

Treatment for Opioid WithdrawalPrimarily supportive careTreat symptomaticallySpecific pharmacotherapy:
clonidine-for n/v/diarrheabuprenorphine (Buprenex) –reduces pain and
discomfort

Opioid Dependence: Interventions
Promoting AbstinenceMaintenance Pharmacotherapy to reduce
cravings and block the “high” :naltrexone (Trexan, ReVia) methadone –requires enrollment in
maintenance program (federally controlled supervision)

CNS STIMULANTS: Abuse and DependenceCocaineAmphetamines: prescribed or illicit Non-amphetamine stimulantsCaffeineNicotine
![Page 30: Disease Entities. Alcoholism: A Prototype Disease Alcohol Dependence can be viewed as a prototype of chemical (substance) use and dependence. E.M.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e165503460f94b0042d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
STIMULANTS: Cocaine Intoxication and DependenceCocaine –Blocks dopamine reuptake esp. in
nucleus accumbens (pleasure center)IV or intranasal route; Crack (dilute) form is
smokedRapid Effects and Rapidly metabolized:
Intense euphoriaIncreased mental alertnessIncreased motor and cardiac activityIncreased muscle strength
Psychological dependence is even more severe than physical dependence; cravings are intense
![Page 31: Disease Entities. Alcoholism: A Prototype Disease Alcohol Dependence can be viewed as a prototype of chemical (substance) use and dependence. E.M.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e165503460f94b0042d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Amphetamines: Intoxication and DependenceOften are prescribed, widely abusedMethamphetamine: Slower metabolic effects,
often mixed with cocaine (cheaper)Routes: IV, intranasal, po, smokedImmediate intense pleasure, lasting high“Crash” occurs as drug effects wear offIntense cravings promote frequent, repetitive
use Neglect of nutrition and dental care

STIMULANTS: Complications Toxic effects: Hallucinations and paranoid delusions Severe hypertension, cardiac ischemia Withdrawal: severe agitation, anxiety, depression Death from cardiac arrhythmias, seizures, suicide,
respiratory collapse, stroke
Treatment of Overdose:Induce vomiting, diuretics, administer IM antipsychotic
for drug-induced psychosis/agitation(There are no medications that can treat stimulant
dependence)
