This is the case of pathological gambling and addiction to new technologies, which are causing serious psychological and social health problems in both adults and young people. For these cases, psychology has also developed treatments that seek the reduction and elimination of such habits and behaviors, which we will cover in the last unit of this program”

In the 2016 World Drug Report, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODOC) states that 1 in 20 adults used at least one drug in 2014, that's 250 million people aged 15-64, a figure equivalent to the combined population of Germany, France, Italy and the United Kingdom. In the same report, it’s mentioned that more than 29 million people who consume drugs suffer from disorders related to them. It also states that 12 million of these are intravenous drug users, and 14% of these are living with HIV, generating a devastating impact on their health. However, only 1 in every 6 people receive treatment.

We can make an important conclusion from this: the consumption of and/or dependence on psychoactive substances is a serious problem for public health. The consumption and/or dependence on a substance leads to serious problems in the three areas in which health is understood from the biopsychosocial model: problems in the sphere of physical, psychological and social health, not only during the moment of consumption but also in the future health of the individual. Within this framework, the disciplines and professionals concerned with the health of the population, including psychology professionals, are developing treatments and care protocols aimed at intervening effectively in addictive disorders. The scale of this problem requires professionals to be trained in the management of this particular field of intervention.

In recent decades, those addictions where there is no substance that produces dependence, but rather a habit or behavior have also been added to list of addictions which require treatment. This is the case of pathological gambling and addiction to new technologies, which are causing serious psychological and social health problems in both adults and young people. For these cases, psychology has also developed treatments that seek the reduction and elimination of such habits and behaviors, which we will cover in the last unit of this program.
