| Popis: |
The use of substances that modify the psychic functioning involved in the search for pleasure, relief of discomfort, and ritual/religious activities and also with the potential to cause harm to users and people around them has been reported for a long time in the history of mankind. Eventually it is possible to characterize pathologies related to the consumption of alcohol and other drugs called substance use disorders. These disorders often coexist with other pathological conditions in the same individual which increases the potential for damage and treatment difficulties. The concepts of comorbidity and multimorbidity can be applied in these situations. The recognition of comorbidities and multimorbidities and the development of strategies for their management are fundamental for individual therapeutic projects or the elaboration of public health policies. This chapter deals with this subject with the description of concepts and addresses issues associated with multimorbidity in the presence of a substance use disorder. |
