Background: While several studies have revealed that neurodevelopmental disorders have a high probability of overlapping with substance use disorders, the effects of neurodevelopmental disorders on the courses of substance use disorders have hardly been examined.
Methods: This study targeted 637 alcohol-dependent individuals who received inpatient treatment and whose drinking situations were followed for 12 months after hospital discharge using mailed questionnaires. The comorbidity of psychiatric disorders and the characteristics associated with the neurodevelopmental disorders were assessed using several measurements at the time of hospital admission.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the severity of alcohol dependence affects recovery outcomes following inpatient treatment, with a focus on drinking behavior over a 12-month period.
- Results indicate that patients with higher severity of dependence, as measured by diagnostic criteria and Alcohol Dependence Scale scores, had lower abstinence rates and increased likelihood of relapse.
- The findings suggest that greater severity of alcohol dependence is linked to less favorable drinking patterns and overall recovery post-treatment.
Salinity causes major reductions in cultivated land area, crop productivity, and crop quality, and salt-tolerant crops have been required to sustain agriculture in salinized areas. The annual C crop plant (L.) Moench is salt tolerant, with large variation among accessions.
