Experiences of childhood trauma (abuse and neglect) are disproportionately higher in those with opioid use disorder (OUD). Childhood trauma may affect the reinforcing and rewarding properties of opioid drugs and responses to pain, potentially via developmental changes to the endogenous opioid system.

Alcohol y Tabaco, drogas de inicio

Jose Luis Vazquez Martinez - 25 May 2021

Por sus efectos en los órganos y sistemas del cuerpo, el alcohol y el tabaco tienen serias implicaciones en la salud, tanto a corto como a largo plazo. Actualmente, estas dos drogas son responsables de una gran cantidad de enfermedades y muertes en el mundo, y están ampliamente disponibles por su carácter legal. Además de los daños que producen directamente sobre el organismo, hay evidencia sólida de que consumir alcohol y tabaco a edades tempranas incrementa el riesgo de experimentar con otras drogas.

Women Affected by Domestic Abuse and Someone Else's Substance Use

Adfam

Executive Summary

Domestic abuse predominantly affects women, and 35 years of experience supporting families affected by substance use has taught Adfam that women are disproportionately affected by the problematic drug or alcohol use of a loved one. The relationship between domestic abuse and substance use is non-causational, but the impacts of the two are interrelated. Despite this, services are rarely constructed with this dynamic in mind.

In the UK, nearly a quarter of women affected by someone else’s substance use report having experienced physical violence or abuse in relation to...
