This systematic review explores the neurobiological underpinnings of addiction and examines the efficacy of psychotherapies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP), and emerging therapies in treating SUDs. Additionally, the study assesses how emerging biomarkers and neuroimaging data could enhance therapeutic outcomes by guiding personalized treatments. Neurobiological markers, such as prefrontal-limbic connectivity, mesolimbic dopaminergic dysregulation, and glutamate transmission deficits, are shown to significantly influence treatment efficacy. For example, prefrontal cortex hypoactivity and amygdala hyperactivity correlate with poor impulse control and emotional regulation, making these individuals more responsive to CBT and EMDR. Similarly, dopaminergic dysfunction in the mesolimbic pathway is closely tied to reward-seeking behavior where Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) may offer therapeutic benefits. Epigenetic modifications, primarily those affecting the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), highlight the role of stress in relapse suggesting that trauma-focused therapies can be effective for individuals with high stress vulnerability. This review finds that integrating neurobiological insights with clinically validated psychometric assessments could significantly improve treatment stratification. Future research should focus on aligning diagnostic systems, such as the DSM-5, with neurobiological markers and psychological tells to facilitate more precise and personalized interventions, potentially transforming addiction treatment outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":47493,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Addictive Diseases","volume":" ","pages":"1-19"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142848112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This quantitative research investigates the interconnected dynamics of adolescent gambling prevention strategies, internet gambling among high school and college students, and the role of school bullying. Utilizing a purposive sampling technique, 800 valid responses were collected from a total distribution of 850 questionnaires (500 high school, and 300 college students).

The study validates a negative correlation between effective adolescent gambling prevention strategies and problematic gambling prevalence. It also reveals higher psychological distress and a negative correlation between academic performance and internet gambling frequency among college students engaged in internet gambling. Furthermore, a positive association exists between school bullying experience and adolescents' engagement in both offline and online gambling behaviors. Demographic factors such as socioeconomic status and ethnicity were found to moderate the relationship between adolescent gambling prevention strategies and gambling prevalence. A research novelty is introduced, demonstrating a positive correlation between exposure to pro-gambling advertisements on digital platforms and the frequency and severity of internet gambling among college students.

A cross-sectional survey study was conducted with Alabama's clinicians (<i>n</i> = 492). The survey containing a QR code was mailed to clinicians throughout the state and was asked about their viewpoints and thoughts on prescribing buprenorphine.

A minority of respondents (39.8%) reported that they have an active X-waiver for MOUD. Results showed that beliefs that MOUD is addictive were significantly inversely correlated with beliefs about MOUD being effective.
