| fatal | | ________ reinforcement produces removal of w/drawal and comorbid symptom relief |
| ventraltegmentalarea | | recurrent activation of the reward pathway will eventually cause changes that lead to dysphoria if pathway has less than massive stimulation due to receptor ____-regulation |
| abstinent | | ________ addiction is not relieved by treating a suspected causative condition |

| progressive | | one starts _____ chemicals of abuse due to family history, experimentation, peer pressure, and legally prescribed |
| genetics | | this part of the brain is the cognitive portion of the brain, figures out how to activate pathway again |
| tolerance | | this means no use of substance of abuse at all |
| withdrawal | | _________ addiction is prone to recurrence if untreated |
| nucleusaccumbens | | this means substance use has led to a compulsion to use; is a major life dysfunction |
| habituation | | this means the substance use is an established patteren of use w/no major consequences |

| abuse | | _______ addiction is incurable but managable |
| negative | | there can be stree-induced and continuous exposure due to _____________ factors that effect the NA pathway |
| primary | | this means the substance is used sporadically and infrequently |
| pharmacological | | this is a need for markedly increased amounts of the substance to achieve intoxification or desired effect |
| current | | recent _________ users use subtances to decrease residual physical w/drawal symptoms, to treat emotional withdrawal, to deal w/loss of cpoing strategy, increase in symptoms of comorbidity, and frequent environmental cues and triggers |
