Counterconditioning reduces cue-induced craving and actual cue-elicited consumption.
Cue-induced craving is not easily reduced by an extinction or exposure procedure and may constitute an important route toward relapse in addictive behavior after treatment. In the present study, we investigated the effectiveness of counterconditioning as an alternative procedure to reduce cue-induced craving, in a nonclinical population. We found that a cue, initially paired with chocolate cons...
متن کاملCraving by imagery cue reactivity in opiate dependence following detoxification
BACKGROUND Frequent relapses in opioid addiction may be a result of abstinentemergent craving. Exposure to various stimuli associated with drug use (drug cues) may trigger craving as a conditioned response to 'drug cues'. AIMS The present study explored the effects of imagery cue exposure on psychophysiological mechanisms of craving, viz. autonomic arousal, in detoxified opiate addicts. MET...
متن کاملBrain Activity During Cue-Induced Craving
In these extraordinary images, Dr. Katherine Bonson and her colleagues at NIDA’s Intramural Research Program have captured the process of a cocaine-related cue triggering craving for cocaine in the brain of an addicted individual. The investigators used positron emission tomography (PET) to create images of brain activity in 11 cocaine-addicted volunteers who reported on the intensity of their ...
متن کاملLimbic activation during cue-induced cocaine craving.
OBJECTIVE Since signals for cocaine induce limbic brain activation in animals and cocaine craving in humans, the objective of this study was to test whether limbic activation occurs during cue-induced craving in humans. METHOD Using positron emission tomography, the researchers measured relative regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) in limbic and comparison brain regions of 14 detoxified male co...
متن کاملProblematic use of prescription-type opioids prior to heroin use among young heroin injectors
BACKGROUND: Misuse of prescription-type opioids and related adverse health effects are increasing, but little is known about the role of these drugs as a precursor to heroin use. We conducted an exploratory study to determine the proportion of young heroin injectors reporting problematic use of prescription-type opioids prior to using heroin, and to describe the factors associated with prior pr...
