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

external factors such as cultural,religious, family, & peer
variables or psychological factors.

in special sociocultural settings:

- 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.

relative, she does not tell anyone or her story is not
believed, and she does not receive any assistence

anxiety a result of using AOD to relieve thase
uncomfortable feelings
