Note: This example is illustrative only. Contrary to the implication of this diagram, Antabuse does not cause nausea when taken by itself: It only causes nausea if alcohol is also consumed. Moreover, in practice, Antabuse is not used so much to create a lasting distaste for alcohol as to prevent sneaking beers when in detox.

Are Drugs Necessary in Treatment? This question presents an opportunity for students to reflect on the necessity/value of the various therapies described in this chapter.
Suggestion: Instructor might bring up the fact that there is a controversy about whether drugs that alter neurotransmitter levels are in fact effective. For example, research shows that while antidepressant drugs effectively increase targeted neurotransmitter levels within an hour or so of administration, reduction of depressive symptoms does not typically occur till more than a week has passed. Note that this particular evidence does concede the effectiveness of the drug, but undermines the explanation of why the drug works.
Drug Therapy
Antipsychotic Drugs
-Neuroleptics
e.g. Compazine (treats hallucinations and delusions)
--inhibits the NT (Dopamine)
atypical antipsychotic medications
Newer drugs- target both dopamine and serotonin
Improves positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia
Clozapine
