The Addiction Research Foundation conducts and supports research to improve treatment outcomes for substance abuse disorders. They have an ongoing web-based addiction change survey that yields interesting results on how people change addictions. The first results from the survey produced many ideas and questions. There is a lack of evidence to support some common addiction treatment approaches. The foundation hopes that more outcome research from their survey will provide data to help suggest changes that could improve treatment outcomes.

"Drug Testing Welfare Recipients: Reductionism, the fear of the other and the...
This document summarizes a presentation criticizing New Zealand's policy of drug testing beneficiaries. The presentation argues that drug testing is an unreliable and costly policy that breaches human rights and risks excluding people from assistance without clear benefits. Testing targets drug presence rather than impairment and undermines New Zealand's stated harm reduction approach. The policy is driven more by political ideology than scientific evidence and may encourage use of more dangerous substitute drugs. Overall, the presentation concludes drug testing of beneficiaries is an unrealistic and intolerant policy that risks harm without gain.
The Social Construction of Stigma & Problem Drug Use
This paper was a Keynote presentation at the Scottish Drug Forum Conference on Stigma.
The paper examines the social construction of stigma looking at the way in which drug use and notions of abuse are culturally bound and determined. The role of the media shapes and firms up these boundaries.

Drug abuse and addiction 2015
The document summarizes drug abuse and addiction from a neurobiological perspective. It discusses how repetitive drug use leads to adaptive changes in the brain, especially in brain circuits involved in reward and motivation. This can make drug use compulsive and difficult to stop. All addictive drugs increase dopamine levels in the brain's reward system, hijacking the brain's natural reinforcement pathways and conditioning drug-seeking behavior. Long-term drug use can cause lasting changes in the structure and function of the brain that contribute to addiction. However, treatment and abstinence can allow the brain to partially recover over time.

End-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) is the level of carbon dioxide that is released at the end of an exhaled breath. ETCO2 levels reflect the adequacy with which carbon dioxide (CO2) is carried in the blood back to the lungs and exhaled.
Non-invasive methods for ETCO2 measurement include capnometry and capnography. Capnometry provides a numerical value for ETCO2. In contrast, capnography delivers a more comprehensive measurement that is displayed in both graphical (waveform) and numerical form.

If you or a loved one is considering hearing aids, consult with a hearing care professional at Ear Solutions hearing aid clinic in Mumbai to explore the benefits of binaural hearing and determine the best solution for your hearing needs. Embracing binaural hearing can lead to a richer, more engaging auditory experience and significantly improve your quality of life.
