Biopsychosocial Model
THE MORAL MODEL
Has been adopted by certain religious groups as well as by the
legal system
This model explains addiction as a consequence of personal
choice caused by spiritual or character deficiencies (individual
factors)
Individuals are viewed as making decisions to use AOD in a
problematic manner & as being capable of making other
choices.
Example : drunkness (use of alcohol) is viewed as sinful
behavior in Islam & prohibited but not prohibited by some
religious groups.
In other words, if you believe that alcoholics & addicts are
weak-willd and/or immoral, then you are more likely to try to
solve the problem yourself or hide it.
SOCIOCULTURAL MODELS
This model explains addiction can be influenced by an
external factors such as cultural,religious, family, & peer
variables or psychological factors.
This model also defined populations at risk for addiction
in special sociocultural settings:
- in industrial societies
- immigrants & refugees
- poverty & affluence
- child rearing & culture
Adolescence developed as a period of self-doubt &
social anxiety ehnacing social interaction
explain the initiation of heavy AOD use among some
members of this group.
Immigrants & refugees have high rates of substance
abuse following relocation can influence local
citizens.
When money is insufficent to cover basic needs (drug
dealer etc.) & when money is greater freedom to indulge.
Cultures & families who model & support heavy AOD
use are more likely to have children who develop AOD
problems.
PSYCHOLOGICAL MODEL
Explain addiction can be influenced by psychological
state of individuals.
Primary psychological problem causes emotional pain,
& alcohol and other drugs serve to temporarily relieve
this pain.
For example : a woman was sexually molested by
relative, she does not tell anyone or her story is not
believed, and she does not receive any assistence
will experience anger, guilt, embarrassment, depress, &
anxiety a result of using AOD to relieve thase
uncomfortable feelings
