Rose, DSW, LCSW, AADC, CS and Duston Morris, PhD, MS, CHES 3 Substance Use to Exercise: Are We Moving 3/17/2021 from One Addiction to Another? Study overview Very little evidence addresses the relationship between substance use and exercise addiction among college students. A phenomenon referred to as “switching addictions” or substitute addictions is the substitution of one addictive behavioral pattern for another. A total of 824 college students completed a 36-item survey regarding substance use and views of exercise. 10 10 Physical activity and recovery Substance abuse disorders are among those with the highest mortality rates (Franko, Dorer, Keel, Jackson, Manzo, & Herzog, 2005). For chronic abusers, their health has generally taken a back seat to their addiction. Therefore, many treatment facilities also address nutrition and physical activity. Physical activity is often promoted in treatment for alcohol use disorder not only because it is at little cost, but it does not need insurance approval or a trained provider (Read, Brown, Marcus, Kahler, Ramsey, Dubreuil, Jakicic, & Francione, 2001). 11 11 POLL QUESTION #1 Which of the 1. Exercise can effectively following are increase the abstinence accurate rate statements 2. Exercise can ease concerning the withdrawal symptoms relationship 3. Exercise can reduce between physical anxiety and depression exercise and 4. All the above substance abuse? 12 Presented by: Stephanie F. Rose, DSW, LCSW, AADC, CS and Duston Morris, PhD, MS, CHES 4 Substance Use to Exercise: Are We Moving 3/17/2021 from One Addiction to Another? What are the concerns? Possible benefits from physical activity as part of recovery include, achieving a pleasurable state without use of drugs, improving mood, increasing self-efficacy, participating in group activity and social support, providing a positive non-drinking alternative, decreasing stress reactivity and improving coping skills (Read JP, Brown RA, 2003). While this sounds promising, there is little research evaluating if individuals in treatment for substance abuse, who are susceptible to addiction, are potentially being lead to another addiction. 13 13 Making the connection Similarities Societal norms Linked behaviors Individuals that are For example, individuals addicted to physical addicted to exercise and activity and exercise have individuals addicted to some characteristics drugs and/or alcohol similar to individuals that generally have low self- have a substance abuse esteem and both use disorder. either exercise or a chemical as a way of “managing and/or manipulating psychological states” 14 14 Substitute addictions Substitute addictions can involve a transition from a chemical addiction to a behavioral or process addiction. In some situations when an individual is able to terminate one addictive behavior, such as alcohol abuse, they may engage in a pattern of addictive eating, exercise, or sexual behaviors. The process of substitute or “switching addictions” involves process-overlaps between obtaining pleasure and distorted rewards, while experiencing withdrawal symptoms (Sussman S, Black, DS, 2008). Ultimately, switching from one addition to another leads to similar negative health outcomes. 15 15 Presented by: Stephanie F. Rose, DSW, LCSW, AADC, CS and Duston Morris, PhD, MS, CHES 5 Substance Use to Exercise: Are We Moving 3/17/2021 from One Addiction to Another? POLL QUESTION #2 Researchers 1. Chemicals released that believe that in create a since of part, exercise pleasure or reward addiction may be 2. Specific positive exercise based on? attitudes 3. A family history of exercise addiction 4. Coping mechanism for other behaviors 16 Alcohol use and physical activity There is an association between alcohol use and increased physical activity (Dodge & Clarke, 2018). Among college students, for example, a correlation exists between risk for exercise addiction and alcohol use. Some research also demonstrated a link between problematic alcohol use and those considered at risk for exercise addiction. 17 17 Exercise addiction Exercise addiction involves psychophysiological symptoms that can manifest in compulsive and/or dependent behaviors (Yong-Seok, Eun, 2018). Exercise addiction renders consequential behaviors, similar to other addictive behaviors, including a lack of control despite negative consequences. 18 18 Presented by: Stephanie F. Rose, DSW, LCSW, AADC, CS and Duston Morris, PhD, MS, CHES 6 Substance Use to Exercise: Are We Moving 3/17/2021 from One Addiction to Another? Additional consequences of exercise addiction Musculoskeletal injuries and weakened immune systems (Yong-Seok & Eun, 2018). Similar to other addictions, including, alcohol abuse and gambling, an individual with exercise addiction presents with psychological inflexibility. Obligatory exercise is a compulsive pattern of exercise behavior where thoughts of needing to exercise or actual exercise behavior begins to dominate daily life requirements, and where the lack of exercise begins to produce withdrawal symptoms (Rodgers, Blanchard, & Munroe, 2001). Individuals recovering from alcohol or drug addiction may perceive obligatory exercise as a healthy alternative due to the general social acceptance surrounding excessive exercise; however this is not always the case. 19 19 Griffiths (1997) six components of exercise addiction Salience Mood modification Tolerance Withdrawal Conflict Relapse 20 20 POLL QUESTION #3 It is estimated that 1. 5% _____% of people who are addicted 2. 10% to exercise might also be addicted 3. 15% to tobacco, alcohol, and 4. 20% other drugs. 21 Presented by: Stephanie F. Rose, DSW, LCSW, AADC, CS and Duston Morris, PhD, MS, CHES 7 Substance Use to Exercise: Are We Moving 3/17/2021 from One Addiction to Another? Exercise addiction contributors Feelings of guilt and shame are two primary emotions associated with personal motive for behavioral change concerning heavy alcohol consumption and a desire to engage in restorative- health efforts (Dodge & Clarke, 2018). In relation to guilt and shame, those struggling with exercise addiction also struggle with poor body image (Berczik, Szabo, Griffiths, Kurimay, Kun, Urban, & Demetrovics, 2012). 22 22 Association with social constructs Social constructs The bellybutton challenge Exercise trends Exercise addiction is often Current social constructs that overlooked as a concern due to promote, sensationalize, and the positive view of physical glamorize only the fit images activity and sports within our as healthy people can make social construct. This extreme the average person feel guilty level of acceptance can result or shameful about their own in rationalizing dysfunctional exercise efforts and/or body behavior (Nogueira, Molinero, image. Salguerro, & Marquez, 2018), which can lead to the disruption of normal, healthy lifestyle patterns. 23 23 POLL QUESTION #4 Exercisers at high 1. True risk of exercise addiction 2. False reported the same level of support for exercise from relatives as those at low risk of exercise addiction. 24 Presented by: Stephanie F. Rose, DSW, LCSW, AADC, CS and Duston Morris, PhD, MS, CHES 8 Substance Use to Exercise: Are We Moving 3/17/2021 from One Addiction to Another? Other contributing factors Among undergraduate college students, more women reported increased weight as a concern in regard to alcohol consumption (Reilly, Dmochowski, Schaumberg, Earleywne, & Anderson, 2016). There is a high prevalence of co- occurring diagnoses with exercise addiction and eating disorders (Berczik, Szabo, Griffiths, Kurimay, Kun, Urban, & Demetrovics, 2012). Furthermore, there is research that suggests that guilt related to drinking can be a mediator for increased exercise as a way to address the additional caloric consumption. Individuals

  • Process Addictions
    Defining, Identifying and Treating Process Addictions PRESENTED BY SUSAN L. ANDERSON, LMHC, NCC, CSAT - C Definitions Process addictions – a group of disorders that are characterized by an inability to resist the urge to engage in a particular activity. Behavioral addiction is a form of addiction that involves a compulsion to repeatedly perform a rewarding non-drug-related behavior – sometimes called a natural reward – despite any negative consequences to the person's physical, mental, social, and/or financial well-being. Behavior persisting in spite of these consequences can be taken as a sign of addiction. Stein, D.J., Hollander, E., Rothbaum, B.O. (2009). Textbook of Anxiety Disorders. American Psychiatric Publishers. American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) As of 2011 ASAM recognizes process addictions in its formal addiction definition: Addiction is a primary, chronic disease of pain reward, motivation, memory, and related circuitry. Dysfunction in these circuits leads to characteristic biological, psychological, social, and spiritual manifestations. This is reflected in an individual pathologically pursuing reward and/or relief by substance use and other behaviors. Addictive Personality? An addictive personality may be defined as a psychological setback that makes a person more susceptible to addictions. This can include anything from drug and alcohol abuse to pornography addiction, gambling addiction, Internet addiction, addiction to video games, overeating, exercise addiction, workaholism and even relationships with others (Mason, 2009). Experts describe the spectrum of behaviors designated as addictive in terms of five interrelated concepts which include: patterns habits compulsions impulse control disorders physiological addiction Such a person may switch from one addiction to another, or even sustain multiple overlapping addictions at different times (Holtzman, 2012).

  • Benefits & Downsides of Physical Activity Physical Activity Is
    Benefits & Downsides of Physical Activity Physical Activity is Antidepressant & Addictive. Leroy Neiman, ‘Olympic Runner' Sept ‘10 - Jan ‘11 P.K. Diederix Master thesis Sept ‘10 - Feb ‘11 Master Neuroscience and Cognition, ECN-track Physical Exercise is Antidepressant & Addictive. Neuroscience and Pharmacology, Rudolf Magnus Institute, Utrecht University, the Netherlands P.K. Diederix 3157210 Supervisor Prof. Dr. L.J.M.J. Vanderschuren Second supervisor Dr. G. van der Plasse 1 Abstract Physical activity has been found generally as pleasant and good for one’s health. It is known to have a positive impact on nearly every system in the body. Regular exercise will improve the cardiovascular system, facilitates weight control, will create greater bone mineral density and it will decrease the risk for cancer, stroke and diabetes. Regular exercise can enhance and protect brain function and it has been found to have an antidepressant effect. Therefore physical activity is investigated to be used as a potential treatment for depression. It was found that physical activity can increase transmission of monoamines in the brain thereby correcting any imbalances seen in depressed patients. It also has an effect on the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis to reduce the effects of daily stressors which can be a cause of depression. In addition, it can increase the expression of BDNF in the hippocampus to facilitate neuronal growth and dendritic sprouting. Many other genes are activated important for regulating plasticity, metabolism, immune function and degeneration processes. Physical activity and anti-depressant drugs seem to have most prominent effect when used together. However, physical activity has traditionally been seen as having only positive influence for all people, but when taken to extremes, physical activity can become addictive and compulsive-like behaviour.

    The Professional Counselor\Volume 3, Issue 1 Counselors’ Understanding of Process Addiction: A Blind Spot in the Counseling Field The Professional Counselor Volume 3, Issue 1 | Pages 16–22 http://tpcjournal.nbcc.org Angie D. Wilson © 2013 NBCC, Inc. and Affiliates www.nbcc.org Pennie Johnson doi:10.15241/adw.3.1.16 The addictions field continues to grow and is expanding beyond the area of substance abuse and substance depen- dence. Process addictions are now an integral aspect of addictions treatment, diagnosis, and assessment. There is a gap in the literature related to process addictions which impacts counselors and clients due to lack of literature and knowl- edge on this new area. It also is hypothesized that there is a gap in continued education for incorporating treatment and assessment measure into clinical practice. This initial study was conducted to initiate an understanding of levels of knowledge counselors have in diagnosing, assessing and treating clients suffering with process addictions, indicators of where and how they learned about process addictions, and how they integrate their level of the treatment of process addictions into clinical practice. The authors provide a brief overview of process addictions, a summary of original research, implications of this study, discussion, and recommendations for future research. Keywords: process addictions, counseling, addiction disorders, compulsive behaviors, behavioral addictions It is important for counselors and mental health professionals to stay current with information impacting their profession. Staying abreast of new ideas and new information can assist in providing successful and holistic treatment for clients (ACA, 2005). Specifically, the field of addictions has had many transformations over the last few decades.

It is a unique form of addiction because in contrast to other addictive disorders it is carried out with major physical-effort and high energy expenditure. Methods: A critical literature review was performed. Results: The literature evaluation shows that most published accounts report the levels of risk for exercise addiction rather than actual cases or morbidi- ties. The inconsistent prevalence of exercise addiction, ranging from 0.3% to 77.0%, reported in the literature may be ascribed to incomplete conceptual models for the morbidity. Current explanations of exercise addiction may suggest that the disorder is progressive from healthy to unhealthy exercise pattern. This approach drives research into the wrong direction. Discussion: An interactional model is offered accounting for the adoption, maintenance, and trans- formation of exercise behavior.

Sports medicine professionals are in a unique position to diagnose exercise dependence among the athletes they encounter in treatment. Once the diagnosis is made they must work to either avert full blown dependence, or assist those already further along in managing their symptoms and coming to grips with the addictive nature of their physical activity. This review provides an introduction to exercise dependence, as well as management and prevention recommendations for sports medicine professionals to utilize.
