简要总结
The efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy(CBT) in treatment of methamphetamine use disorder
详细描述
Methamphetamine (MA) use is a serious public health concern in many countries and is second to cannabis as the most widely abused illicit drug in the world.
Over the past few years; there is an alarming increase in crystal methamphetamine (Shabu) abuse in the Egyptian market and The Egyptian government is annoyed from this issue because youth within the age of productivity were targeted.
Regular methamphetamine use can be associated with a range of psychiatric symptoms, particularly psychosis, anxiety, and depression.
No FDA approved pharmacological treatments are available for Meth addiction up till now and despite great advances achieved in understanding the neurobiology of drug addiction, the therapeutic options are severely limited . Consequently, the only available treatment at present is psychosocial intervention.
The effectiveness of CBT for other substance-use disorders (e.g. alcohol-, opioid- and cocaine-use disorders) has been well documented and as such this basic treatment approach has been applied to amphetamine-type stimulant (ATS)-use disorder .
