    "Biotransformation: The Body's defense system tries to eliminate the drug as soon as it reaches the site of action. Most of the chemical/drug action takes place in the liver, but sometimes it can be eliminated through the human body tissues.

    The dopamine D2 hypothesis theorized that:

    • Individuals with type II alcoholism also lack a dopamine receptor that inhibits the release of histamine

    • Genetic & environmental factors contribute to a loss of dopamine in those with substance use disorders

    • Those with SUD's have a biological vulnerability to become addicted to any substance that triggers dopamine release

    • Psychological dependence is caused by gap between synapses within neurotransmitters

    Correct Answer
    A. Those with SUD's have a biological vulnerability to become addicted to any substance that triggers dopamine release
    Explanation
    The correct answer suggests that individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs) have a biological vulnerability to become addicted to any substance that triggers dopamine release. This means that their brain chemistry and genetics make them more susceptible to addiction when exposed to substances that increase dopamine levels. This hypothesis implies that the underlying cause of addiction lies in the individual's biology rather than solely in psychological factors or neurotransmitter imbalances.

    In Chapter 5, experts argue that groundedness places the self in relationship to something greater. Without this, one is said to

    • Lack moral turpitude

    • Have a disease of the spirit

    • Blinded to their place in reality

    • Lack an awareness of self

    Correct Answer
    A. Have a disease of the spirit
    Explanation
    The correct answer suggests that without groundedness, one is said to have a disease of the spirit. This implies that being disconnected from something greater leads to an affliction of the inner self. It implies that lacking a sense of connection and purpose can result in a spiritual ailment or imbalance. This answer aligns with the argument made by experts in Chapter 5, who emphasize the importance of groundedness in relation to something greater for a healthy sense of self and moral understanding.

    Correct Answer(s)
    an individual is powerless to avoid development of an addictive disorder if he or she is exposed to certain conditions.
    one cannot avoid developing addictive disorder if exposed to certain conditions
