Abstract:
Objective: Craving for alcohol is probably involved in acquisition and maintenance of alcohol dependence to a substantial degree. However, the brain substrates and mechanisms that underlie alcohol craving await more detailed elucidation. Method: Positron emission tomography was used to map regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) in 21 detoxified patients with alcohol dependence during exposure to alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Results: During the alcohol condition compared with the control condition, significantly increased CBF was found in the ventral putamen. Additionally, activated areas included insula, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and cerebellum. Cerebral blood flow increase in these regions was related to self-reports of craving assessed in the alcoholic patients. Conclusions: In this investigation, cue-induced alcohol craving was associated with activation of brain regions particularly involved in brain reward mechanisms, memory and attentional processes. These results are consistent with studies on craving for other addictive substances and may offer strategies for more elaborate studies on the neurobiology of addiction.

Abstract:
The identification of variables that can modulate the efficacy of cue exposure using virtual reality (VR) is crucial. This study aimed to explore determinant variables of cue-elicited alcohol craving and perceived realism (PR) of environments and alcoholic beverages during a VR cue-exposure session among alcohol use disorder (AUD) outpatients. A prospective cohort study was conducted amongst 72 outpatients with AUD from a clinical setting. Alcohol craving experienced during VR exposure and PR of virtual environments and alcoholic drinks were evaluated after a VR session of exposure to alcohol-related contexts and cues. Sociodemographic, psychological and consumption characteristics were examined as possible predicting variables. Multiple linear regression analyses showed that the AUD severity and PR of beverages were predictors of cue-elicited alcohol craving. Educational level, PR of beverages and age were predictors of the PR of VR environments. In relation to the PR of VR beverages, cue-elicited alcohol craving and the PR of environments were predictors. A simple mediational model was also performed to analyze the influence of the PR of beverages on the relationship between the AUD severity and alcohol craving experienced during VR exposure: an indirect or mediational effect was found. PR of alcoholic beverages was (1) a key predictor of the PR of VR environments (and vice versa) and the alcohol craving (and vice versa) experienced during VR cue-exposure sessions using ALCO-VR software among AUD patients and (2) a mediator between AUD severity and cue-elicited alcohol craving.

Abstract:
Background: The pharmacological effects of alcohol on executive function, craving and subsequent alcohol-seeking have been well documented. Yet, insufficient methodological controls within existing alcohol administration paradigms have meant that the relative importance of alcohol’s pharmacological and anticipatory effects remains in need of further elucidation. Aim: The objective of this study is to disentangle alcohol’s pharmacological effects from its anticipatory effects on alcohol-related cognitions and subsequent consumption. Methods: Inhibitory control, attentional bias and craving were assessed pre- and post-consumption in 100 participants who were randomly allocated to one of four beverage conditions in a two by two design: (1) alcohol aware (alcohol with participant knowledge (pharmacological/anticipation effects)), (2) alcohol blind (alcohol without participant knowledge; in a novel grain alcohol masking condition (pharmacological/no anticipation effects)), (3) placebo (no alcohol but participants were deceived (anticipation/non-pharmacological effects)) and (4) pure control (no alcohol with participant knowledge (no anticipation/non-pharmacological effects)). Results: Findings suggest that the pharmacological effects of alcohol result in greater inhibitory control impairments compared with anticipated effects. Anticipatory but not the pharmacological effects of alcohol were found to increase attentional bias. Both pharmacology and anticipation resulted in increased craving, though higher levels of craving were observed due to alcohol’s pharmacology. Furthermore, alcohol pharmacology resulted in heightened ad libitum consumption; however, anticipation did not. Changes in craving partially mediated the relationship between initial intoxication and subsequent drinking, while inhibitory control impairments did not. Conclusions: Successive alcohol consumption appears driven primarily by the pharmacological effects of alcohol which are exerted via changes in craving.

Abstract:
BackgroundICD-10 includes a craving criterion for alcohol dependence while DSM-IV does not. Little is known about whether craving fits with or improves the DSM-IV criteria set for alcohol-use disorders.MethodData were derived from current drinkers (n=18 352) in the 1991–1992 National Longitudinal Alcohol Epidemiologic Survey (NLAES), a nationally representative survey of US adults >17 years of age. The Alcohol Use Disorder and Associated Disabilities Interview Schedule was used to assess the eleven DSM-IV dependence and abuse criteria, and alcohol craving. Exploratory factor, item response theory, and regression analyses were used to evaluate the psychometric properties and concurrent validity of DSM-based alcohol disorder criteria with the addition of alcohol craving.ResultsThe past 12-month prevalence of craving was 1.3%. Craving formed part of a unidimensional latent variable that included existing DSM-IV criteria. Craving demonstrated high severity on the alcohol-use disorder continuum, resulting in an improved dimensional model with greater discriminatory ability compared with current DSM-IV criteria. Correlates of the diagnosis did not change with the addition of craving, and past 12-month craving was associated with prior alcohol dependence, depression, and earlier age of alcohol disorder onset among those with current DSM-IV alcohol dependence.ConclusionsThe addition of craving to the existing DSM-IV criteria yields a continuous measure that better differentiates individuals with and without alcohol problems along the alcohol-use disorder continuum. Few individuals are newly diagnosed with alcohol dependence given the addition of craving, indicating construct validity but redundancy with existing criteria.

Abstract:
The aim of this research is to investigate implicit cognitive process underlying alcohol craving and relationship between alcohol attentional bias and alcohol craving by using visual probe task. Current study examined whether alcohol abusers show attentional bias toward alcohol related task compared with non- abusers and causal relationship between alcohol attentional bias and alcohol craving. Firstly, participants were divided two groups (non abusers- abusers) and they were completed alcohol craving scale to determinate their alcohol craving level. Then, participants alcohol attentional bias was investigated using the visual probe task. In this task, images (alcohol-related and neutral) were presented for 500 ms on a computer screen. After that, probe (*, asterisk) was presented. Participants were asked to decide the place of the probe place by using keyboard keys within 1500 ms. Participants reaction time and number of correct and incorrect answers during the test. According to results, alcohol abuser group’s reaction times were faster than non-abuser when probe was associated with alcohol picture but not in neutral trials. These results suggested that, alcohol abusers showed significantly greater attentional bias to alcohol related pictures than non- abusers. From this point, investigation of alcohol attentional bias might be important component of alcohol dependence in terms of the alcohol relapse risk and determination of the alcohol craving.

AbstractAimThis preliminary investigation evaluated the link between alcohol craving and insomnia in actively drinking patients with alcohol dependence (AD).MethodsWe conducted a secondary analysis of data from a clinical trial of treatment-seeking patients with AD who drank heavily (N = 61). The Penn Alcohol Craving Scale (PACS) evaluated alcohol craving, and the Short Sleep Index (SSI) assessed insomnia symptoms. We used linear regression models for baseline cross-sectional assessments. Linear mixed effects regression models evaluated craving scores longitudinally across insomnia groups (+/−), and insomnia scores longitudinally across craving groups(high/low). These longitudinal analyses were conducted separately in those treated with placebo (N = 32) and quetiapine (N = 29).ResultsThe mean (standard deviation) for PACS total score was 15.9 (8.5) and for SSI was 2.1 (2.3). Alcohol craving was associated with the insomnia symptom of difficulty falling asleep (P = 0.03; effect size = −0.7) and with the SSI total score (P = 0.04, effect size = −0.7). In the longitudinal analysis, insomnia+ subjects had consistently higher PACS total scores, relative to the insomnia− group. The PACS score demonstrated significant group × time interactions in both treatment groups. Insomnia+ individuals demonstrated a relatively steeper rate of decline in the craving with quetiapine treatment (P = 0.03). Insomnia− individuals in the placebo group demonstrated a transient reduction in craving until week 8, followed by an increase in scores(P = 0.004). The SSI score did not demonstrate any interactive effect over time across the craving groups in either treatment arm.ConclusionInsomnia was associated with higher alcohol craving and quetiapine differentially reduced craving in those with insomnia.

Abstract:
The main aim of this work was to determine the impact of COMT and DRD2 gene polymorphisms together with temperament and character traits on alcohol craving severity alcohol-dependent persons. The sample comprised of 89 men and 16 women (aged 38±7). For the sake of psychological assessment various analytic methods have been applied like the Short Alcohol Dependence Data Questionnaire (SADD), Penn Alcohol Craving Scale (PACS) or Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) test. The SNP polymorphism of the analyzed genes was determined by Real Time PCR test. The results showed, that the COMT polymorphismmay have an indirected relationship with the intensity and changes in alcohol craving during abstinence. The DRD2 receptor gene polymorphisms are related with the intensity of alcohol craving. It seems that the character traits like “self-targeting”, including “self-acceptance”, are more closely related to the severity of alcohol craving and polymorphic changes in the DRD2 receptor than temperamental traits. Although this is a pilot study the obtained results appeared to be promising and clearly indicate the link betweengene polymorphisms alcohol craving and its severity.

Abstract:
A growing body of evidence suggests that mindfulness is a useful treatment for reducing alcohol use, yet little is known about the relationship between trait mindfulness and alcohol misuse. Furthermore, the variation in the measurement of mindfulness means that the existing evidence is difficult to interpret and the prevalent use of student samples greatly limits generalisability. It has been proposed that mindfulness may bring more awareness and acceptance to depression symptoms and craving leading to reduced alcohol use. The present study aimed to examine the relationship between the individual facets of mindfulness and alcohol misuse, taking into account the role of depression and craving. A cross-sectional, correlational design was used to explore these relationships in individuals seeking treatment for alcohol misuse. Seventy seven participants completed self-report measures on depression, craving, mindfulness and alcohol misuse. The results showed that depression symptoms were positively associated with alcohol misuse and negatively correlated with mindfulness, thus supporting previous findings. The mindfulness abilities of bringing full awareness to present moment activities and adopting a non-judgemental and a non-reactive attitude were associated with less alcohol misuse. The ability to bring full awareness to present moment activities was also associated with less craving. However, mindfulness did not moderate the association between depression and alcohol misuse, disconfirming the hypothesis. Higher levels of craving were associated with higher levels of alcohol misuse suggesting that craving represents a cognitive marker that precedes alcohol use. The results provide valuable evidence of the association between certain mindfulness facets and alcohol misuse in a sample of individuals with moderate to severe alcohol misuse problems and suggest that these mindfulness abilities may be a useful focus for interventions for both depression and alcohol misuse.

Full text
Abstract:
The elaborated intrusion (EI) theory of desire is a cognitive model that describes the processes involved in craving as intrusive thoughts that are elaborated upon leading to dissonance when desires are not met. While the theory is based on a wide body of research, certain theoretical predictions have not been fully examined. Specifically, EI theory argues that mental imagery has a central role in craving, and predicts that attempts to suppress substance-related intrusive thoughts and mental imagery is related to increased craving. Further, EI theory suggests that elaboration of craving imagery is related to attention and working memory processes, however, there are questions about whether differential performance in these domains is related to craving. The current study examined the relationship between attention/working memory performance and alcohol craving in a sample of 119 young adult males. Additionally, metacognition was examined to clarify the phenomenological aspects of craving within EI theory. Attention and working memory performance did not significantly predict intrusive thought and mental imagery elaboration. Individuals with high craving reported significantly higher levels of anxiety, thought suppression, and greater strength and frequency of craving-related mental imagery. They were also more likely to try to control their own thoughts and make negative judgments on their ability to do so. The strength of craving-related intrusive thoughts, not mental imagery, was the most significant predictor of craving. Implications for the understanding of craving and treatment recommendations based on the findings are discussed.

Abstract:
Previous research has shown that alcohol abuse may cause a deficit in frontal lobe functioning, specifically, areas of the frontal lobe that are related to executive function. Additionally, problems with executive function have been related to increased difficulty in managing cravings to addictive substances. The current study explored the relationship between alcohol use and performance on measures of executive functioning in a sample of 121 traditional college students. Students were given 5 measures of executive function designed to explore mental set shifting, updating, inhibition, sustained attention, and planning. These measures were used to examine the relationship between executive function and craving as measured by the Obsessive Compulsive Drinking Scale. Levels of alcohol use were also examined using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test in relation to executive function performance and family history of alcohol abuse.

Abstract:
Understanding the etiological and maintaining processes of problematic drinking continues to be a challenge. There has been a growing amount of research focusing on the decisional processes that act to maintain addictive behaviors. Elucidating this underlying process is key to understanding the range of drinking behavior observed among individuals. Rather than relying on one theory, examining overlap between multiple theories of alcohol use may lead to a better understanding of such a process. Using a construct validation approach, this study utilized motivational (Ambivalence Model of Craving), cognitive (Alcohol Outcome Expectancy Theory), and behavioral theories (Behavioral Economics) of alcohol use to examine the extent to which they tap into a common underlying decisional process of alcohol use behaviors. Two methods were used including establishing motivational profiles using latent profile analysis and an experimental manipulation of situational context to examine the effect of setting on constructs of interest. Results from the two studies provided partial support for the overlap between these theories as it pertains to a common underlying process.

Abstract:
L’objectif principal de nos études a été de caractériser la pharmacocinétique du baclofène chez le patient alcoolo-dépendant et d’étudier la variation du craving en fonction de l'exposition au baclofène pour objectif de comprendre s’il existait des sujets répondeurs et des sujets non répondeurs. Nous nous sommes intéressés à la sécurité d’emploi du baclofène, à l’influence que pourraient avoir les paramètres démographiques et biologiques ainsi que la consommation de tabac concomitante. Nous avons pu mettre en évidence que le baclofène présentait une pharmacocinétique linéaire avec une relation proportionnelle de 30 à 240 mg par jour avec une importante variabilité interindividuelle. Une modélisation pharmacocinétique/pharmacodynamique par approche de population nous a permis de définir la relation entre l’exposition au baclofène et le craving à l’alcool. Nous avons constaté que le baclofène permettait de diminuer le craving à l’alcool pour l’ensemble des patients traités, et nous avons pu élaborer l’hypothèse qu’il existait deux sous-populations de patients différenciés par leur rapidité de réponse. Bien que chez les patients non-répondeurs (répondeurs tardifs) les taux sanguins de créatinine et de phosphatases alcalines étaient significativement plus élevés laissant supposer que les patients sévèrement malades répondaient moins au traitement, le faible nombre de patients (n=50) et l’absence de placebo ne permettent pas de conclure. Des analyses préliminaires des données de craving à l’alcool et de consommation d’alcool suggèrent qu’il existe une relation entre craving et consommation d’alcool. Des analyses complémentaires sont nécessaires pour confirmer ces résultats
The main objective of our studies was to characterize the pharmacokinetics of baclofen in alcohol-dependent patients and to investigate the variation of craving as a function of exposure with a secondary objective which was to explore the possible existence of baclofen responders and non-responders. We investigated baclofen safety, the potential influence of demographic and biological parameters as well as the concomitant use of tobacco. We observed that baclofen showed linear pharmacokinetics with a proportional relationship from 30 to 240 mg per day with a high inter-individual variability. A pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic population approach has enabled us to define the relationship between baclofen exposure and alcohol craving. A wide inter-individual variability in response was depicted but could not be explained by any of the covariates studied. We found that baclofen could possibly reduce alcohol craving in all the patients treated, and we drew up the hypothesis of two subpopulations of patients differentiated by their speed of response. Although in non-responders (late responders) blood levels of creatinine and alkaline phosphatase were significantly higher than in responders, suggesting that seriously ill patients could be less responsive to baclofen treatment, the low number of patients (n = 50) and the absence of a placebo group renders this results inconclusive. Preliminary analyzes of alcohol craving and alcohol consumption data suggest that a relationship exists between craving and alcohol consumption. Additional analyzes are needed to confirm these results

Introdução: A fração lipídica das membranas celulares consiste de ácidos graxos poliinsaturados (PUFAS) e o uso crônico do álcool altera sua composição, modificando a permeabilidade. Portanto, a administração de PUFAS pode ser um potencial tratamento para evitar a compulsão pelo álcool. Metodologia: Este foi um estudo placebo controlado, duplo-cego, randomizado, onde, "PUFAS”, “Naltrexone”, “Naltrexone + PUFAS" e "Placebo", foram administrados por 90 dias, sendo aplicadas escalas para avaliar o craving pelo álcool (OCDS) e a severidade da dependência do álcool (SADD) no início e 90 dias após a administração das substâncias. Resultados: Após 3 meses de seguimento, houve uma melhora significativa ao longo do tempo em relação aos "dias de ingesta", SADD e OCDS em todos os grupos (p <0,001) dentre os 43 pacientes que completaram o estudo. A comparação entre os grupos quanto aos "dias de ingesta" não demonstrou diferença estatisticamente significante (F = 0,71, p = 0,69). O mesmo efeito foi observado para a compulsão (OCDS) (F = 1,08, p = 0,37) e escala de severidade da dependência (SADD) (F = 0,73, p = 0,53). Conclusões: A administração de n-3 e n-6 PUFAS por 3 meses não diferiu significativamente do placebo na redução da quantidade de ingesta de álcool, ou dos escores de OCDS e SADD em um grupo de pacientes dependentes de álcool. Estudos posteriores com mais participantes, ou com tratamento mais prolongado são necessários para avaliar o possível benefício da administração de ácidos graxos poli-insaturados para pacientes dependentes de álcool, quer como monoterapia ou em combinação com o Naltrexone.

Abstract:
Advances in the understanding of the neurobiological basis of addiction have led to a better understanding of the causes of drug and alcohol dependence, as well as to new alternatives in the treatment of these disorders. By addressing some of the underlying neurobiological changes that cause and maintain drug and alcohol dependence, pharmacotherapies can provide an important adjunctive treatment for alcohol- and drug-dependent and behaviorally addicted patients. During detoxification, pharmacotherapies can reduce the severity of withdrawal. After detoxification, pharmacotherapies can be useful as an adjunct to psychosocial treatments to help maintain abstinence or reduced addictive behaviors by reducing craving, reducing the rewarding effects of drugs, and improving the allostasis that accompanies abstinence. This chapter describes the neurobiology of drugs and alcohol, how chronic use leads to brain adaptations that result in addiction, and the actions of medications used to treat addictive disorders.

Integrative medicine has the potential to augment traditional medical treatment of alcohol use disorders (as defined by the DSM-5), while also providing a basis for primary and secondary prevention of alcohol-use disorders (AUD). The chapter provides the reader with a review of the effects of alcohol on the human brain and body—including how chronic heavy alcohol use produces disproportionate changes throughout the brain that may result in the development of AUD, the influence of genetics on an individual’s sensitivity or insensitivity to alcohol, how traditional medicine balances medications that reduce craving for alcohol with psychosocial therapies, and how exercise, healthy diet, meditation, yoga, mindfulness, acupuncture, and neurofeedback may augment traditional medical treatment and contribute to primary and secondary prevention of AUD.

Abstract:
A craving or longing for alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs is common, especially in the early weeks and months of stopping substance use, regardless of how motivated clients are to stay substance-free. Cravings are mediated by brain activation in the amygdala region. Cravings can be activated by exposure to drug cues via classical conditioning. Memories associated with substance use can trigger a craving. Usually, cravings decrease in frequency and intensity as recovery progresses and the client abstains from substance use. The objectives of this chapter are to help the client identify and label a craving to use substances, to teach the client to monitor and rate the level of intensity of cravings, to identify internal and external factors that trigger cravings, and to teach cognitive, behavioral, environmental, and interpersonal strategies to manage alcohol or drug cravings.

Abstract:
Alcohol is one of the most frequently used substances, and alcohol-related disorders are common, especially in western societies. While there is no safe lower drinking level, a clear dose–response relationship has been shown between alcohol intake and organ damage. Conceptualization and diagnostic classification of alcohol use disorders have changed over time, focusing most recently on aspects of craving, loss of control, and continued use despite negative consequences. Alcohol acts via various binding sites in the brain and via downstream effects, including glutamatergic, GABAergic, serotonergic, dopaminergic, opioid, and neuroendocrine pathways. For its long-lasting, habit-forming effects, sensitization within the mesolimbic–mesocortical system is crucial. Psychological treatments traditionally focus on motivational enhancement, cognitive behaviour therapy, and the community reinforcement approach. Pharmacological treatment approaches range from aversive and reward-inhibiting to anti-craving compounds and cognitive enhancers, which target opioid, glutamatergic, and monoamine receptors. Improvement of treatment effects can be achieved by polypharmacy and use of personalized medicine, based on clinical characteristics, biomarkers, and genetic indicators.

Abstract:
Parental rejection is associated with poor mental health and addiction liability outcomes for sexual minority youth (SMY; e.g., lesbian, gay, bisexual). Theoretical models purport that SMY who experience greater parental rejection and non-acceptance related to their sexual orientation may have greater risk for substance use, including cannabis and alcohol use. Cross-sectional and longitudinal studies provide initial support for this contention by showing that SMY who perceive heterosexist rejection from their parents have greater substance use as young adults. However, research has yet to examine whether experiencing greater parental rejection is associated with drug craving as an adolescent. Understanding the impact of parental rejection at this level may be of particular importance, as sexual minority young adults report greater alcohol craving in response to heterosexist stigma, above and beyond general negative mood. Since adolescent cannabis and alcohol use are influenced by contextual factors (e.g., availability), craving has been examined as a salient proxy for substance use in this population. This study leveraged data collected from ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to examine how varying levels of heterosexist parental rejection may influence in-the-moment levels of cannabis and alcohol craving. SMY who used nicotine were recruited for an EMA study. Participants completed a baseline survey measuring lifetime parent rejection experiences (M = 0.34, SD = 0.33) and a timeline followback of past-month substance use. Next, participants completed a 30-day EMA period where they responded to approximately 5 random prompts per day measuring current level of cannabis and alcohol craving (range 0 to 10). The analytic sample included a subset of SMY who reported baseline cannabis (n = 37) or alcohol (n = 32) use. Craving was dichotomized to either no craving (0) or any craving (1). Multilevel logistic regression was conducted using N = 2,885 observations to examine the associations between baseline parental rejection and momentary substance craving, controlling for baseline substance use frequency, weekday versus weekend, time of day, age, and presence of peers. Results indicated that greater baseline parental rejection was associated with greater odds of reporting momentary cannabis craving (b = 1.71, p = .05, OR = 5.51) and alcohol craving (b = 2.53, p = .035, OR = 12.55) in the natural environment. Findings underscore the influence of parental rejection on adolescent substance craving. SMY who experience greater parental rejection likely perceive having less supportive parental relationships. Consistent with the minority stress model, SMY may be more likely to experience identity-related distress (e.g., heterosexist parental rejection) and, in turn, may use cannabis and alcohol to cope. This may explain why parental rejection experiences were related to greater day-to-day substance cravings. Clinical implications support the importance of providing family interventions to reduce parental rejection for SMY, as these may result in a myriad of benefits, possibly including reduced substance use craving. Future research should examine how lifetime versus recent parental rejection experiences may influence SMY substance craving.

Abstract:
Background: Cannabis use is prevalent among adolescents and young adults who drink alcohol. Compared to individuals who only drink alcohol, those who (co-)use both alcohol and cannabis are at greater risk of experiencing substance-related problems. One factor that could maintain patterns of co-use is the potential for one substance to elicit craving for another. This idea has been studied extensively in the alcohol and tobacco co-use literature but has yet to be applied to alcohol and cannabis co-use. Thus, the present study examined whether alcohol cues elicit cannabis craving in the lab and in daily life. Method: Participants were 54 adolescents and young adults ages 15 to 24 (M age = 19.69, SD = 2.04) who were enrolled in one of two medication trials targeting alcohol use and endorsed lifetime cannabis use. Participants were 51.9% female, 75.9% white, and 87.0% not Hispanic or Latino. Average age at first alcohol use was 15.28 (SD = 2.07), and average age at first cannabis use was 15.91 (SD = 2.37). Participants reported cannabis use on an average of 22.4% of the last 90 days via timeline follow-back. Participants also completed a lab cue-reactivity task where they rated cannabis craving when presented with alcohol and control cues. Finally, participants completed one week of ecological momentary assessment in their daily lives, reporting multiple times per day on their cannabis craving and the presence of alcohol cues in their surroundings. The data used in the present analyses were collected prior to randomization into medication condition and prior to taking any medications for the larger pharmacotherapy trials. Results: Results from mixed models demonstrated that baseline cannabis use frequency was positively related to lab cannabis craving, regardless of cue type, although this association was larger for control cues than for alcohol cues (b = -0.01, SE = 0.00, p = .004). In daily life, the presence of alcohol cues was associated with greater momentary cannabis craving (b = 0.57, SE = 0.25, p = .029). Finally, greater lab cannabis craving in response to alcohol cues predicted greater momentary cannabis craving across all moments in daily life (not solely when alcohol cues were present; b = 0.61, SE = 0.11, p < .001). Discussion: Results suggest that cannabis craving in the lab translates to daily-life cannabis craving across contexts, and that daily-life cannabis craving may be heightened in the presence of alcohol cues in individuals’ natural environments. Collectively, these findings support the idea that alcohol cues may elicit cannabis craving among adolescents and young adults who report a history of alcohol-cannabis co-use. Our findings may inform future work seeking to tailor cannabis use interventions among individuals who co-use cannabis with alcohol.

Abstract:
Goals: Non-systematic literature review of the role of aripiprazole in alleviating cocaine craving in schizophrenic patients with cocaine-dependence (CD). Material and methods: From the review performed, 2 studies outstand: In one study, 6 schizophrenic patients with CD completed 8 weeks of treatment with aripiprazole at a maximum dose of 15 mg/d. The Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale and the Brief Substance Craving Scale (BSCS) were used to measure psychosis and subjective cocaine and alcohol cravings and urine tests for cocaine were performed. In another study, 44 CD patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder were treated with aripiprazole or perphenazine during 8 weeks. The perphenazine group received the recommended dosage not exceeding 24 mg/d and the patients receiving aripripazole were started on 15 mg/d to a maximum of 30 mg/d or a minimum of 10 mg/d. Primary outcome targeted cocaine-free urine sample proportions, whereas secondary outcome focused on cocaine craving scores. BSCS was used to assess cocaine craving and the positive and negative symptom scale and the clinical global impression scale were used to monitor psychotic symptom severities. Results and conclusion: In the first study, positive urine tests dropped significantly after 2 weeks, mean cocaine and acohol craving scores declined significantly, and declining psychosis scores were associated with declining cocaine and alcohol craving. In the second study, the proportion of negative drug test results did not differ significantly between patients treated with aripiprazol or perphenazine. Regarding the anticraving effect, in the aripiprazol group during week 3 to 8, significant reductions in craving intensity, frequency and duration were seen, while no similar reduction was seen with perphenazine. In conclusion, although the results are still limited, studies suggest that aripiprazol may have a potential effect in dual diagnosis patients with schizophrenia and CD, possibly due to its dopamine activity as a partial agonist/antagonist.

Abstract:
Acute alcohol consumption produces positive reinforcement effects, through activation of brain reward circuit, includes limbic system structures (accumbens system and hippocampus). The comorbidity of depressive episode and alcohol abuse makes it necessary to propose new strategies for the treatment of this frequent clinical situation. We conducted a literature review of the combined treatments for major depressive disorder (MDD) with alcohol abuse. We review current literature on the use of new treatments in alcohol consumption with pattern of abuse (binge drinking). Recent studies support the potential clinical importance of NMDA receptor antagonism among the mechanisms underlying the subjective effects of ethanol in humans. The efficacy of medications for alcohol dependence remains modest, and there are no strong clinical predictors of treatment response. We analyze approved medications used today: Acamprosate (NMDA modulator), disulfiram (acetaldehyde dehydrogenase inhibitor), naltrexone (opioid antagonist), nalmefene (opioid antagonist). Promising current studies suggest the glutamatergic pathway and medications such as ketamine could have a hopeful future in the treatment of alcohol use disorder associated with affective disorders.

Abstract:
1. Objetivos: El objetivo es realizar una revisión del tratamiento utilizado en pacientes con dependencia del alcohol y depresión comórbida. Algunos pacientes, en su proceso de recuperación, tras el abandono del consumo de alcohol, realizan una sobrevaloración de los elementos negativos de su pasado, cayendo en un estado de autodepreciación y de fracaso, siendo la génesis de un cuadro depresivo y empujar a una conducta parasuicida, o empeorar el consumo. Además del abordaje psicoterapéutico debe realizarse un adecuado abordaje farmacológico. 2. Material y métodos: A partir de un caso clínico se hará una revisión del tratamiento farmacológico más apropiado. Varón de 50 años, que ha realizado con éxito un tratamiento de desintoxicación y deshabituación en una Comunidad terapéutica, tras la cual su mujer le abandona. En este contexto se produce una intensificación del craving, así como ánimo deprimido, ideación autolesiva, alta carga punitiva y sobrevaloración de actos pasados. Se instaura seguimiento estrecho por riesgo de autolisis, se inicia tratamiento con antidepresivo dual, asociado a estabilizador del ánimo antipsicótico atípico (Venlafaxina 225/24 horas, Lamictal 100 mg/12 horas, Quetiapina 100 mg/24 horas), con mejoría de sintomatología depresiva, pero sin desaparición de craving. Paralelamente se inicia tratamiento psicoterapéutico para elaborar sus pérdidas y manejar el craving. 3. Resultados y conclusiones: Se recomienda el uso de antidepresivos no ISRS para mejorar los trastornos depresivos y trastorno de consumo de alcohol, aunque no suponen una disminución del consumo de alcohol. En este caso, se observa que con el uso de un antidepresivo dual, se produce mejoría del estado anímico, sin desaparición de craving. En ocasiones se precisa combinar diferentes tipos de fármacos para conseguir una mejor respuesta al tratamiento. También se consluye que se precisa un abordaje psicoterapeutico asociado al tratamiento farmacológico.

Abstract:
Numerosos estudios han analizado las diferencias en el consumo de alcohol según género. Se han reportado mayores prevalencias en hombres, con más alteraciones de conducta, problemas médicos y consultas en servicios especializados. Las mujeres sufren más consecuencias, síntomas ansiosos y depresivos. El objetivo de este estudio es conocer las características clínicas de los pacientes que ingresan en una Unidad específica de Patología Dual para desintoxicación de alcohol y analizar las diferencias relacionadas con el sexo. Estudio observacional, descriptivo, transversal. Los criterios de inclusión han sido diagnóstico de trastorno por uso de alcohol y edad entre 18 y 65 años. Se han recogido variables sociodemográficas y médicas. Se ha aplicado la Escala Multidimensional de Craving de Alcohol (EMCA), Escalas de Hamilton para Ansiedad y Depresión (HDRS), Escala de Calidad de Vida (QLS), Escala de Valoración Sociofamiliar. Hemos analizado los datos con el programa SPSS statistics versión 28. La muestra consta de 86 pacientes, 52% hombres, con una edad media de 29 años y una evolución en el consumo de alcohol de 15 años en ambos grupos. En el 91%, había alteraciones en la analítica de ingreso. El 24% de las mujeres y el 26% de los hombres tenían hipertensión arterial. No hemos encontrado diferencias en el deseo de beber, predominando craving moderado. En mujeres, las puntuaciones en ansiedad han sido más elevadas, aunque sin llegar a obtener significación. Se ha detectado depresión en casi la mitad (48% mujeres, 45% hombres). El sexo femenino tiene más problemática social, más aislamiento social, desempleo, dependencia económica y menos apoyo familiar, sin llegar a ser significativo. Cabe destacar el sesgo de la hospitalización. Además, no se ha podido determinar la mayor vulnerabilidad a los efectos neurotóxicos del alcohol descrita en mujeres y las repercusiones hormonales, en la fertilidad y en el embarazo.
