Individual Differences in Response to Treatment

  • Chapter
Determinants of Substance Abuse

Part of the book series: Perspectives on Individual Differences ((PIDF))

Abstract

In examining the research literature regarding individual differences in response to treatment for the various addictive behaviors, one finds much evidence in the alcoholism literature and very little information bearing on this issue in the literature on the other addictive behaviors. Moreover, what little research on individual differences in treatment responsiveness does exist in other drug abuse literature tends to parallel the findings in the alcoholism field. Thus, the focus of this chapter will be directed toward individual differences in response to alcoholism treatments only.
