Here's why adopting the term 'pre-addiction' could be critical for prevention, better health, and reduced treatment costs—similar to the way the term 'pre-diabetic' has helped
Out of this much-improved landscape comes another potentially game-changing development I’m very excited about: a group of experts has recently coined the term “pre-addiction” as a new way of understanding and treating an earlier stage of addiction. As you’ll see, this has far-reaching implications., and two other prominent thinkers in the addiction treatment field recently proposed the term “pre-addiction” to describe mild-to-moderate substance use disorder .
Volkow compares this to other conditions: “It is now standard to monitor risk factors like cholesterol, blood pressure, and BMI during routine checkups, so that steps can be taken to avert heart attacks or stroke through some combination of lifestyle changes and medications.”and drug addiction need to “hit rock bottom,” as the saying goes, before their condition is recognized and treated?
The beauty of intervening at the pre-addiction stage is that in most cases, those addiction-associated brain changes won’t have happened yet. Consequently, the path back to a healthy mental state is less arduous.You have a better chance of arresting the progression of the disease.
