The incidence of substance use and behavioral addictions continues to increase throughout the world. The Global Burden of Disease Study shows a growing impact in disability-adjusted life years due to substance use. Substance use impacts families, communities, health care, and legal systems; yet, the vast majority of individuals with substance use disorders do not seek treatment. Within the United States, new legislation has attempted to increase the availability of buprenorphine, but the impact of substance use continues. Although medications and group support therapy have been the mainstay of treatment for substance use, lifestyle medicine offers a valuable adjunct therapy that may help strengthen substance use recovery through healthy neuroplastic changes.
物质使用和行为成瘾的发生率在全球范围内持续上升。全球疾病负担研究表明,由于物质使用,残疾调整生命年的影响日益增大。物质使用对家庭、社区、医疗保健和法律系统都有影响;然而,绝大多数患有物质使用障碍的人并未寻求治疗。在美国,新的立法试图增加丁丙诺啡的可及性,但物质使用的影响仍在持续。尽管药物治疗和团体支持疗法一直是物质使用治疗的主要手段,但生活方式医学提供了一种有价值的辅助疗法,可能有助于通过健康的神经可塑性变化来加强物质使用康复。
