ABSTRACT
One of the most known models that pretend to explain a part of the
functioning of the addictions was made by Shepard Siegel (2005), in
this model he proposed, with many experiments realized in animal
models, a possible explanation of the maintenance of the addictive
substance consumption behavior. Using a Classic Conditioning
paradigm based on the Opponent Process Theory by Solomon and
Corbit (1978), Siegel proved the functioning of the drug´s effects
Tolerance, the Abstinence Syndrome symptoms and a possible
explanation of the overdose death. This article describes the model
made by Solomon and Corbit, the experiments realized by Siegel
that brings empirical support to his postulate. The actual
psychological treatments for addictions, with medical and
pharmacological treatment have been demonstrated empirically
favorable results. The use of behavioral techniques, with the
objective of the extinction of the association between the
environmental cues and the organism´s opponent answer to the
drug´s effect, could be alternative techniques for the addictions and
the prevention to relapse consumption.
