The costs of substance abuse in the United
States, economically and physically, are
staggering. Alcohol is the most economically
costly at $166.5 billion, followed by smoking at
$138 billion and drug abuse at $110 billion, the
report said. Furthermore, of the more than 2
million deaths each year in the United States, one
in four is attributable to alcohol, tobacco and
illicit drug use.

The Big Two:
• Serotonin: mood, emotion, sleep and appetite
• Dopamine: pleasure and elation

Many drugs work by mimicking a
naturally occurring
neurotransmitter in the body.

• Increased Energy “It sustains and refreshes both body and brain...... in the same space of time more than double the amount of work could be undergone...” Sears, Roebuck, and Co. Consumers Guide, 1900
• Euphoria “.....exhilarating and lasting euphoria.... You perceive increase in self-control and possess more vitality and capacity for work.” Sigmund Freud, 1884

Craving “I found I was taking money
meant to buy presents for my children.” Paranoia “He thought he was being forcibly electrocuted and could see electric wires leading to his body.”

Oops Phenomenon
• First use to Feel Good
• Some continue to compulsively use because of the reinforcing effects– To Feel Normal
• Changes occur in the reward system that promote continued use.

‘Down’ in the Dumps
Down-Regulation• Immediate effect of drug use is an
increase in dopamine or NT’s• Continued use of drugs reduces the brain’s
dopamine (or NT) production.• Because dopamine is part of the reward
system, the brain is “fooled” that the drug has survival value for the organism.
• The reward system responds with “drug seeking behaviors”
