Psychosocial Treatment in Substance Use List of Contributors Disorder Glossary Preface It is indeed a pleasure to be associated with the task of compiling the manual for the World Health Organization (India) and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (Government of India). This manual is a product of intense deliberations and the felt need to revise the course materials for training of General Duty Medical Officers being conducted as a part of training programmes undertaken by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (Government of India) at various apex institutes across the country. It is intended to cover as many areas as can be envisaged. There may be some degree of overlap in the information given between chapters, which the editors have not deleted in order to maintain the coherence of individual chapters. Any suggestions for topics that have not been covered and are important may be informed so that they may be addressed in the revised version. Though intended to be used primarily by the GDMO’s, this manual may also be useful for others who are involved in the care of patients with substance use disorders. We look forward to any suggestions for improvement and changes. Rakesh Lal Ravindra Rao Indra Mohan October 2005 Foreword Substance Abuse is a complex problem having medical and social ramifications which impacts all social strata. It affects not only the user and their families but all sections of the society. Controlling substance abuse by way of demand reduction, provision of treatment services etc. has been a matter of priority for the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare for many years now. Recognizing that there is a paucity of experts in this field, the Ministry has made efforts so that in each State and Central Government Health Institutions, General Physicians are sensitized and trained to combat the problem. The task of managing this training was entrusted to the National Drug Dependence Treatment Centre, AIIMS which has been conducting regular courses for medical officers on the subject of Substance Abuse for the past 15 years. A Manual had been developed to assist the GDMO’s undergoing training in 1999. Due to the rapid advancements in this field, a need to revise the existing manual became neces- sary. I congratulate the National Drud Dependence Treatment Centre, AIIMS for bringing out this new edition of the training manual. I am sure it will be a useful tool for all persons con- cerned with the treatment and care of patients of Substance Use Disorder. Rita Teaotia Joint Secretary Ministry of Health and Family Welfare Acknowledgements In the road to putting this manual together there were a number of persons and agencies that helped. At the outset I would like to gratefully acknowledge the funds provided by the World Health Organization (India). I would like to especially thank Dr Cherian Varghese at the WHO (I) who has been a guiding force all through. Thanks are also due to the Drug Abuse Cell at the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (Government of India) for the support and encourage- ment. Special mention must be made of the Joint Secretary, Ms. Rita Teaotia and Director, Mr Rajesh Bhushan. Acknowledgemnts are due to the Director as well as to the Dean, All India Institute of Medical Sciences for permission to carry out the work. Professor Rajat Ray, Chief, National Drug Dependence Treatment Centre deserves special grati- tude for being the constant guide and critic and without his tireless assistance this work would not have been possible. Acknowledgements are also due to the participants of the National Workshop where the course materials revision was discussed and finalized. This work would just not have been possible without the timely help of the contributors and special thanks are due to each and every one of them. My associate editors, Dr. Ravindra Rao and Dr. Indra Mohan deserve special mention of grati- tude for their tireless support and help in putting this case-book together.

Abstract Background: The north-east Indian states of Manipur and Nagaland are two of the six high HIV prevalence states in the country, and the main route of HIV transmission is injecting drug use. Understanding the pathways to injecting drug use can facilitate early intervention with HIV prevention programs. While several studies of initiation into injecting drug use have been conducted in developed countries, little is known about the situation in developing country settings.

  • The Challenge of Managing Wounds in the Injecting Drug- Dependent Patient
    Clinical PRACTICEClinical DEVELOPMENT REVIEW The challenge of managing wounds in the injecting drug- dependent patient Managing wounds in the patient who injects drugs is complex for healthcare professionals. As with the non- drug taking population, the problems of mobility, odour from the wound, social limitation and pain still occur, but fears of discrimination may lead to reluctance to seek medical intervention, potentially leading to slower recovery and chronicity. This article focuses on the problems encountered by injecting drug users, a group that can suffer significant wound care issues, including infection, wound abscess and fistula formation, along with other management problems, such as a reciprocal mistrust of healthcare professionals.

There is no more tragic face of this epidemic than the wave of alcohol and drug use by adolescents. In 2008 in Yolo County, a team of community leaders from medicine, human services, law enforcement, education and local government, convened to raise awareness and understanding of the issue and to create a unified community-based response to the problem. With funding from the Sierra Health Foundation, this team of leaders planned and implemented a three day event to educate people and stimulate action. The event began with a half-day training for medical providers to impart the skills and knowledge they need to diagnose and treat adolescent patients who are involved with substances.

  • Sexual Dysfunction in Males with Alcohol Dependence Syndrome
    Original Research Article DOI: 10.18231/2455-8559.2017.0022 Sexual Dysfunction in Males with Alcohol Dependence Syndrome Sai Krishna P.1,*, Shailaja Adepu2, Jayaram Adepu3, Dattatrey M4 1,3Associate Professor, 2Assistant Professor, 4Professor, 1,4Dept. of Psychiatry, 2,3Dept. of General Surgery, 1,2,3Prathima Institute of Medical Science, Karimnagar, 4Kamineni Institute of Medical Science, Nalgonda *Corresponding Author: Email: [email protected] Abstract Introduction: Sexual dysfunction leads to distress and poor interpersonal relationships in alcohol dependent males with an active sexual life. If not addressed, it may precipitate relapse. Aims: Aim of the study is to assess the prevalence and type of sexual dysfunction in alcohol dependent males and its relation to duration and quantity of alcohol consumed. Material and Methods: One hundred male subjects admitted to a de-addiction center, attached to a tertiary care rural teaching hospital meeting the diagnosis of alcohol dependence syndrome [F10.2] were assessed for sexual dysfunction using Arizona Sexual Experience Scale (ASEX), International Index for Erectile Dysfunction questionnaire (IIEF) and Sexual dysfunction checklist (SDCL). Results: Sixty one percent had one or more sexual dysfunctions. The most common being decreased sexual desire, premature ejaculation, frequency dissatisfaction and erectile disorder. The amount of alcohol consumed and the duration of alcohol dependence appeared to be significantly associated with sexual dysfunction. Conclusion: Sexual dysfunction is common in subjects with alcohol dependence syndrome. Long term dependence and heavy drinking had a positive linear relationship with sexual dysfunction. Psychiatrists should routinely evaluate and treat the sexual dysfunction to prevent relapse and improve interpersonal relations. Keywords: Alcohol dependence syndrome, Sexual dysfunction, Male.

  • The Hematological Complications of Alcoholism
    The Hematological Complications of Alcoholism HAROLD S. BALLARD, M.D. Alcohol has numerous adverse effects on the various types of blood cells and their functions. For example, heavy alcohol consumption can cause generalized suppression of blood cell production and the production of structurally abnormal blood cell precursors that cannot mature into functional cells. Alcoholics frequently have defective red blood cells that are destroyed prematurely, possibly resulting in anemia. Alcohol also interferes with the production and function of white blood cells, especially those that defend the body against invading bacteria. Consequently, alcoholics frequently suffer from bacterial infections. Finally, alcohol adversely affects the platelets and other components of the blood-clotting system. Heavy alcohol consumption thus may increase the drinker’s risk of suffering a stroke. KEY WORDS: adverse drug effect; AODE (alcohol and other drug effects); blood function; cell growth and differentiation; erythrocytes; leukocytes; platelets; plasma proteins; bone marrow; anemia; blood coagulation; thrombocytopenia; fibrinolysis; macrophage; monocyte; stroke; bacterial disease; literature review eople who abuse alcohol1 are at both direct and indirect.

  • Gendered Sexual Uses of Alcohol and Associated Risks: a Qualitative Study of Nigerian University Students Emeka W
    Dumbili BMC Public Health (2016) 16:474 DOI 10.1186/s12889-016-3163-1 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Gendered sexual uses of alcohol and associated risks: a qualitative study of Nigerian University students Emeka W. Dumbili Abstract Background: Alcohol misuse among young people is a global phenomenon. In many countries, young people engage in heavy drinking and this exacerbates risky sexual behaviour. In Nigeria, alcohol held multiple roles in the traditional era but was mainly consumed by adult males for pleasure. Adult females and young people were culturally constrained from drinking in most communities. In contemporary Nigeria, young people’s drinking is increasing, and many engage in sexual intercourse under the influence of alcohol. Methods: This study draws on the traditional gender and social sexual scripts to explore the factors that motivate young people to use alcohol for sexual purposes. In-depth interviews were conducted with 19 to 23-year old male and female undergraduate students from a Nigerian university. Thematic analysis was conductedwiththeaidofNVivo10software. Results: Men drink to become confident to initiate sexual relationships, stimulate sexual urges, prolong erection, increase sexual satisfaction and become more aggressive during sexual intercourse. Women also drink to be bold in initiating sexual relationships, for sexual arousal and to increase satisfaction. Relatedly, not every brand of alcohol is used for sexual purposes. For example, while men use ‘herbal’ alcoholic beverages and a mixture of locally-produced gin and marijuana, women use champagne and other flavoured alcoholic beverages. The results also revealed that young people use alcohol or salt in a bid to prevent conception after sexual intercourse.
