1.1 Craving for Cocaine: A Substance Use Disorder

According to DSM-5, people who abuse and/or physically depend on substances are displaying a substance use disorder. In this video, a man with cocaine use disorder describes his history of cocaine abuse and dependence, which ruined his personal life and professional career. Now, no longer addicted, he also describes his treatment, recovery, and successful climb back. As you watch, you should note that one feature of his recovery is implicit aversion therapy, in which he keeps recalling and picturing the life of ruin associated with drug misuse whenever he feels the desire or craving for a drug.
