Description

Research in the 1950s showed that animals - mammals in particular - compulsively used and abused the same drugs as humans. Yet other psycoactive drugs - the ones used for treatment of mental health conditions - did not cause the same compulsive use patterns. Dr. Darryl Inaba expands on the use of these medications, and the ways they affect people with substance use disorders - commonly knows as dual-diagnosis or co-occurring disorders.
