    The Brain on Alcohol: Insights Revealed
    Jun 18 2025

    A recent study investigated how acute alcohol consumption impacts the brain, focusing on the glutamate system using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and the mGluR5 receptor. Results indicated that even moderate drinking can reduce mGluR5 availability and increase blood flow in various brain areas, highlighting the complex effects of alcohol and the challenges of recovery from addiction. This research emphasizes the importance of understanding these changes for careers in addiction counseling and behavioral health.

    Breaking the Cycle of Addiction

    Recent research highlights the effectiveness of Disulfiram, an aversive agent, in treating severe alcohol use disorder (AUD) when combined with addiction-focused therapy. The study tracked 45 patients from 2011 to 2023, revealing that half maintained abstinence for at least a year, while also noting the importance of addressing the broader public health issue of AUD, which affects 400 million people globally.

    Navigating Dual Challenges: AUD and PTSD
    Jun 4 2025

    Recent research highlights the significant emotional distress faced by individuals with both alcohol use disorder (AUD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This group exhibits heightened negative emotionality, often exacerbated by childhood trauma, and shows severe levels of alcohol use and biological dysregulation. The findings stress the importance of integrated treatment approaches that address both conditions and the underlying emotional issues.
