Article Review HCS 430 July 29, 2013 Melissa Borrelli Article Review Introduction: In this article The Concept of Addiction in Law and Regulatory Policy Related to Pain Management This appears in criminal and in crimes the author of this article Aaron M. Gilson MS, MSSW PhD argues that in order for a physician to declare a person a drug addict compulsive behavior must also be noted. This paper will be analyzing Gilson’s article from the viewpoint of a middle- class woman, a poor person. Summary: Gilson agues that many states have the wrong understanding on what make a person addicted to drugs and can impact the decisions of health care. This article also gives many description of terminological and treatments. These goals have been put in place to reduce addiction and abuse of prescription drugs. A working class middle- age Woman: A working class middle- age woman will probable agree with Gilson point of view see that one cannot label actions by other just because they are using medication for a long period of time. Gilson has some really good opinions concerning the current abuse of prescriptions pills. Gilson adds that a person that abuses medications will likely showed withdrawals symptoms due to prolonged use it can be diagnose as an addiction if compulsive behavior is also found. Thus only thirty-seven states have adopted the current policies under diagnostic classifications. A working woman would probable agree with Gilson stating that more need to be done with the current drug problem that is currently rising. Gilson opinion about the current drug laws should be strictly enforced among all states this can interfere with patient care especially when considering the use of Opioids as a source of treatment. Opioid therapy is often used to treat children, elderly for managing adverse effects to poorly responsive pain and to advance medical and addictive diseases. A poor person A poor person would agree with Gilson because of how people are discriminated against because him or her do not have the money to receive such help. She might see the drug laws as a way of trying to take more away of the poor. Poor people would probable view this as way of trying to get rid of poor or even view this as others possessing more money and better things. A poor person would also have the mentality are being refuses such care due to the finical state and also believe that a program like this for end up taking away programs that help her or him live comfortable. Despite the large percentage of street crimes that are narcotic-related. IF Gilson program would to be accepted the likely hood of drug related crimes would drop. Conclusion: This paper has shown two different types of people would interpret The Concept of Addiction in Law and Regulatory Policy related to pain management. Gilson argues that if all states follow the same clinical practice and using the appropriate guide line to treat chronic pain the safety of health care would enable us to improve health care as a whole. Gilson argues his point very clear and to the point making it easy to follow along. Whether or not Gilson’s request will be made still has not been made cleared, at this point at least sixteen states have been said to agree with his response. Gilson believes that if all inaccurate definitions are remove this would improve the consistency with medical diagnostic and reduce clinical error regarding addiction.
