Abstract
Abstract Chapter 5 provides a method of tracking wanting (craving), a cognitive event that allows a therapist and person being treated to develop a heightened awareness when activation of the three-stage neurocircuitry of psychoactive substance abuse occurs. This awareness provides an opportunity to employ several neuroscience-informed psychotherapeutic interventions with precision when this neurocircuitry is activated in the limbic system and frontal lobes. The tracking procedure described in this chapter is a complex methodology derived from multiple psychological theories—single-subject design, the self-regulation model, delay discounting, choice theory, and contingency management. The role of episodic memory and performance memory in psychoactive substance abuse is explored and described in relationship to the three-stage neurocircuitry of psychoactive substance abuse.
