Immunochemical methods have been reported for the determination of these substances in body fluids (see Table 8) in clinical and forensic analyses. In the case of illicit use of opioid drugs, methods have also been reported for the control of drug abuse and assessment of intoxication using body fluids, tissue extracts, post-mortem specimens, and seizure samples. For this reason there are several commercially available immunochemical methods (see Table 4). 

Some clinicians and researchers have noted that drug problems seem inextricably linked to problems with emotions. Certainly, many studies have found evidence for links between emotions, especially extreme emotional experiences, and drug abuse, and such links are frequently described in the personal stories told by drug users. However, the relationship between emotions and drug use is... 

For years, psychiatric and drug abuse disorders were not even treated together. Now we know they commonly co-occur, which means for many years clients were getting only partial treatment. Even today we are still not sure how to treat these co-occurring conditions simultaneously in a consistently effective way with both psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy (see Chapter 5). The next century is likely to see many advances in both pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy to treat co-occurring conditions. There are effective methods to treat drug abuse and to treat other co-occurring psychiatric disorders. The next frontier in research is to learn how to combine these approaches in a way that can treat multiple disorders at once ... 

In some cases, Narcissistic Personality Disorder can cluster with both drug abuse and antisocial behavior. People with this disorder typically display grandiosity, selfishness/self-centeredness, exploitation of others, beliefs about being gifted and special, arrogance, an excessive preoccupation with self and personal appearances, and the need to have others affirm how special they are. Sometimes these qualities are difficult to separate from antisocial behavior, but key differences center around the criminal behavior and the ability to inflict physical cruelty found in antisocial behavior. Effective treatment for Narcissistic Personality Disorder includes cognitive behavioral therapy as well.
