“…The induction of muscle relaxations and decreasing motor functions may be involved in deal with withdrawal syndrome. Sedative compounds have a potential role in the management of agitation, insomnia or anxiety associated with substance withdrawal (Dean, 2005). Saffron extracts decreased the motor activity and prolonged the sleeping time induced by hexobarbiotal (Zhang et al, 1994).…”

Crocus sativus L. has been shown to interact with the opioid system. Thus, the effects of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of stigma and its constituents were evaluated on morphine-withdrawal syndrome in mice. Dependence was induced using subcutaneous (s.c.) injections of morphine for 3 days. On day 4, morphine was injected 0.5 h prior the interaperitoneal (i.p.) injections of the extracts, crocin, safranal, clonidine (0.3 mg/kg) or normal saline. Naloxone was injected (5 mg/kg i.p.) 2 h after the final dose of morphine and the number of episodes of jumping during 30 mm was considered as the intensity of the withdrawal syndrome. Clonidine, the aqueous and ethanolic extracts of saffron reduced the jumping activity. Safranal was injected (s.c.) 30 mm prior and 1 and 2 h after the injection of morphine. It potentiated some signs of withdrawal syndrome. The aqueous extract decreased the movement in all of the doses (80, 160, 320 mg/kg) and the ethanolic extract decreased it in the dose of 800 mg/kg in open field test. But crocin and the dose of 400 mg/kg ethanolic extract showed no effect on activity in this test. It is concluded that the extracts and crocin may have interaction with the opioid system to reduce withdrawal syndrome.

“…The use of art and music therapy fits well within specific existing ideological frameworks for treating SUDs that rely on actively engaging and motivating SUD patients (Dean, 2005). Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a therapeutic style that addresses client ambivalence and seeks to enhance clients’ intrinsic motivation for change (W.…”

While the implementation of evidence-based practices (EBPs) in the treatment of substance use disorders (SUD) has attracted substantial research attention, little consideration has been given to parallel implementation of complementary and alternative medical (CAM) practices. Using data from a nationally representative sample (N = 299) of U.S. substance abuse treatment programs, this study modeled organizational factors falling in the domains of patient characteristics, treatment ideologies, and structural characteristics, associated with the use of art therapy and music therapy. We found that 36.8% of treatment programs offered art therapy and 14.7% of programs offered music therapy. Programs with a greater proportion of women were more likely to use both therapies, and programs with larger proportions of adolescents were more likely to offer music therapy. In terms of other treatment ideologies, programs’ use of Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET) was positively related to offering art therapy, while use of Contingency Management (CM) was positively associated with offering music therapy. Finally, our findings showed a significant relationship between requiring 12-step meetings and the use of both art therapy and music therapy. With increasing use of CAM in a diverse range of medical settings, and recent federal legislation likely to reduce barriers in accessing CAM, the inclusion of CAM in addiction treatment is growing in importance. Our findings suggest treatment programs may be utilizing art and music therapies to address unique patient needs of women and adolescents.

“…In a clinical study, 45 adult smokers were randomized to receive an oral spray containing hypericum or placebo, in addition to brief counseling sessions and nicotine replacement patches. Although abstinence rates were similar in each group after 1 month, hypericum was associated with lower craving scores, and less anxiety, restlessness and sleeplessness compared with controls (Becker et al, 2003;Dean, 2005). On the other hand, results of a recent preliminary study did not provide convincing evidence that HPE is effective as an aid in smoking cessation (Barnes et al, 2006).…”

Substance abuse and dependence is a serious problem throughout the world. The development of several types of dependence remedies has medical, social and economical significance. In particular, alcohol and tobacco are the most commonly abused substances worldwide. An extract of Hypericum perforatum L. (HPE) displayed a clear antidepressant action and it has been used for the treatment of mild to moderate depression. Recent reports imply that HPE may be effective in the treatment of substance abuse. Studies have focused on alcohol and nicotine dependence. In this review, the effects of HPE on substance dependence and its possible benefit have been discussed in the light of current literature.
