Roots of Addiction: | |||||
Featuring:Darryl Inaba, PharmDResearch Scientist, formerCEO Haight-Ashbury Free Clinics Behavior, UC Irvine School of Medicine; CEO and Medical Director, Amen Clinics, Inc. | Roots of Addiction: Drug & Behavioral Compulsions is a highly visual video that examines the biological and environmental reasons that people become addicted to substances such as alcohol, tobacco, and prescription medications; illegal drugs like cocaine, heroin, and marijuana; or behaviors such as eating disorders, compulsive sexual activity, and compulsive gambling. Through the use of animation, live action, and graphics, the conflict between old brain cravings and new brain reasoning, even down to the cellular level, is explored. Roots of Addiction shows that any addiction is an inherited, learned, and practiced set of behaviors which can be treated and prevented. The video also examines the relationships among addictions and related behaviors, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorders. "Roots of Addiction is excellent overall! Great scope meaningful speakers. Perfect for courses in substance abuse as well as client education groups. One of the best I've ever seen!" "Very well done. Representative of a cross-cultural view of addiction. Contemporary in each theme and accurate in its information. A keeper!" |
