Description
Brain Changes in Substance Abuse: Implications for Treatment The plight of the chronic substance abuser lies largely in the fact that chronic abuse of drugs produces profound changes in the brain that appear to be very long lasting, if not permanent. These changes make the abuser highly vulnerable to recidivism, even if he or she has undergone extensive rehabilitation treatment. In this article I will describe the cascade of events that occur in the brain as the abuser takes repeated doses. We will see that long-lasting changes occur in several brain systems as the development of drug dependence progresses.
