Nurses working in the medical-surgical setting routinely care for patients experiencing acute alcohol withdrawal. Symptom-triggered therapy using the revised Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment (CIWA-Ar) (Sullivan, Sykora, Schneiderman, Naranjo, & Sellers, 1989) is currently recommended. Scoring patient symptoms using the CIWA-Ar and educating staff nurses are keys to providing consistent management of a patient in acute alcohol withdrawal.

While our understanding of the neurobiological mechanisms underlying cocaine and opiate reward has historically been dopamine-focused, evidence from genetic and pharmacological approaches indicates that µ-opioid receptors (MORs) in the striatum are important contributors. Within the striatum, MORs are expressed in both dopamine D1-receptor and D2-receptor expressing GABAergic medium spiny neurons (MSNs), as well as in interneurons and various afferents. Thus, it remains unclear how these distinct MOR populations regulate drug reward.
