Survey: People Have More Negative Opinions About Drug Addiction

Than Mental Illness

A national survey fi nds Americans are signifi cantly more likely to have a negative attitude about drug addiction than mental illness. The survey found 22 percent of respondents said they would be willing to work closely on the job with a person with a drug addiction, compared with 62 percent who said they would be willing to work with a person with mental illness. Sixty-four percent said employers should be able to deny em-ployment to people with a drug addiction, compared with 25 percent who said the same about a person with a mental illness. Forty-three percent said they opposed giving people with a drug addiction equivalent health insurance benefi ts to the pub-lic at large, compared with 21 percent who opposed giving the same benefi ts to people with mental illness. The fi ndings are published in the journal Psychiatric Services. “The more shame associated with drug addiction, the less likely we as a commu-nity will be in a position to change attitudes and get people the help they need,” said study co-author Beth McGinty, Ph.D.

Statewide Problem Gambling ConferenceNo-cost educational 2 Day Conference with CEH's

Portland, OregonKeynote: Natasha Dow Schüll, PhD

Drawing on fi fteen years of fi eld research in Las Vegas, anthropologist Natasha Dow Schüll shows how the mechanical rhythm of electronic gambling pulls players into a trancelike state they call the "machine zone."

Once in the zone, gambling addicts play not to win but simply to keep playing, for as long as possible--even at the cost of physical and economic exhaus-tion. In continuous machine play, gamblers seek to lose themselves while the gambling industry seeks profi t. Schüll describes the strategic calculations behind game algorithms and machine ergonom-ics, casino architecture and "ambience manage-ment," player tracking and cash access systems--all designed to meet the market’s desire for maximum "time on device." Her account moves from casino fl oors into gamblers’ everyday lives, from gambling industry conventions and Gamblers Anonymous meetings to regulatory debates over whether addic-tion to gambling machines stems from the consumer, the product, or the interplay between the two.

Recovery takes time: Chronic use of alcohol can disrupt a person’s sleep months or even years after a person stops drinking, according to researchers from Boston University School of Medicine. The researchers say chronic alcohol use can disrupt cells in an area of the brain stem involved in regulating many aspects of sleep, Boston Magazine reports. As a result of prolonged expo-sure to alcohol, the activity that excites neurons in the brain increases, while at the same time decreasing the activity of a chemical that inhibits activity of these neurons. This causes over-activity of brain chemicals, and leads to a dis-ruption in the normal sleep cycle, the researchers write in Behavioral Brain Research.

Roughly one in four Oregonians was prescribed opioids in 2013, position-ing the state as the nation’s leader in abuse of painkillers, according to KOIN 6 News, September 16, 2014. Doctors wrote more than 900,000 scripts for opioids in 2013, and Or-egon’s death rate from overdose quadrupled between 2000 and 2012, a 2014 report by the Oregon Health Authority says. Furthermore, the report estimates overdoses from all drugs cost Oregon hospitals $31 million in 2012 alone.
