Abstract
Abstract: The directors of the National Institute on Drug Abuse and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism have proposed new efforts to enable earlier identification and intervention for harmful substance use and its consequences. As editors of The ASAM Principles of Addiction Medicine, we fully support this goal. The word "preaddiction" has been suggested as a diagnostic label to describe individuals who would be targeted for early intervention. In this commentary, we offer that "unhealthy substance use" would be a better descriptor than "preaddiction" and review several potential barriers to be addressed in order to maximize the impact of introducing this new paradigm.
摘要:美国国家药物滥用研究所(National Institute on Drug Abuse)和美国国家酒精滥用与酗酒研究所(National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism)的所长们提出了新的努力方向,以便更早地识别和干预有害物质的使用及其后果。作为《ASAM成瘾医学原则》的编辑,我们完全支持这一目标。有人建议将 "成瘾前期"(pre-addiction)作为诊断标签,用来描述那些将成为早期干预目标的个体。在这篇评论中,我们认为 "不健康的药物使用 "比 "成瘾前 "更适合描述,并回顾了几个需要解决的潜在障碍,以便最大限度地发挥引入这一新模式的影响。
