“…Power has been the connecting string for stigmatising the stigmatised [2]. In mental health, addiction is referred to as Substance Use Disorder [3]. Individuals with Substance Use Disorder (SUD) often experience more derogatory comments from others.…”

In northern Nigeria, stigma has been used as a means of discouraging drug use because of the claim that substance users are responsible for their choices, in this line many families also adopted the same measure as a way of chastising family members involved in drug use. This qualitative study on stigma investigated the personal experiences of 40 people with a history of drug use who are receiving treatment in a facility. The study used a purposive sampling technique to obtain information from participants through interviews. Statistically, this study also obtained data from 261 participants admitted to the same facility over 7 years ago. From this population, 59.4% were diagnosed with Substance Use Disorder (SUD), while 3.8% were diagnosed with Substance Use Disorder comorbid mental illness. Compare to females, there were more males at 85.1%. Furthermore, 55.0% are between the ages of 16 to 30 years of age, making it the highest age group that participated in the study. On marital status singles made up the highest number at 86.4%, participants raised by a single parent were 2 which is .9%. Based on family type, the mean obtained was 1.18 and SD of .387 these participants were grouped into a monogamous and polygamous family. Two hypotheses raised in this study predicted that “there is likelihood that person with substance use disorder will have a stigmatized experience” and “Persons with substance use disorder will have ways to cope with stigmatization” were tested to be significant, the Nvivo software was used in analysing the data obtained from the interviews. The outcome of the study suggests that family members are often the first point of stigmatization for drug-using persons in most families in North-central Nigeria.

Background: Previous studies have shown that conventional neurofeedback (NFB) and cognitive rehabilitation can improve psychological outcomes in people with opioid use disorders (OUDs). However, the effectiveness of Low-Resolution Brain Electromagnetic Tomography (LORETA) Z-score neurofeedback (LZNFB) and attention bias modification training (ABMT) on depression and anxiety of these people has not been investigated yet. The present study aims to compare the effect of these two methods on depression and anxiety of men with OUD under methadone maintenance therapy (MMT). Methods: In this randomized controlled clinical trial with a pre-test, post-test, and follow-up design, 30 men with OUD under MMT were randomly assigned into three groups of LZNFB, ABMT, and control (MMT alone). The LZNFB group underwent LZNFB at 20 sessions. The ABMT using the dot-probe task was provided individually to the second group for 2 weeks at 15 sessions. The Beck Anxiety Inventory and the Beck Depression Inventory were completed by the participants before, immediately after, and 1-month after interventions. The collected data were analyzed in SPSS v.22 software. Results: Both intervention groups showed a significant reduction in anxiety and depression at the post-test phase (p < 0.05), where LZNFB group showed more decrease in anxiety and depression than the ABMT group. This decrease continued in the follow-up period. Conclusion: Both LZNFB and ABMT with the dot-robe task are effective in reducing depression and anxiety of men with OUD under MMT. However, LZNFB is more effective. These findings add to the growing body of literature supporting the effectiveness of NFB and cognitive rehabilitation therapy in treating addiction-related comorbidities.

Background. Previous studies has shown that conventional neurofeedback and cognitive rehabilitation can improve psychological outcomes in people with opioid use disorders. However, the effectiveness of LORETA Z-score neurofeedback (LZNFB) and attention bias modification training on quality of life and inhibitory control of these people has not been investigated yet. LZNFB targets deeper brain structures with higher precision, compared to conventional neurofeedback that typically focuses on surface EEG activity. The present study aims to compare the effect of these two methods on quality of life and response inhibition in men with opioid use disorders under methadone maintenance therapy (MMT). Methods. In this randomized controlled clinical trial with a pre-test, post-test, follow-up design, 30 men with opioid use disorders under MMT were randomly assigned into three groups of LZNFB, attention bias modification training, and control (MMT alone). The LZNFB and Cognitive Rehabilitation groups received 20 and 15 sessions of treatment, respectively. The Persian versions WHO Quality of Life-BREEF questionnaire and the Go/No-Go test were completed by the participants before, immediately after, and one month after interventions. The collected data were analyzed in SPSS v.22 software. Results. Both intervention groups showed a significant improvement in quality-of-life score and a significant reduction in response time at the post-test phase ( P < .05), where LZNFB group showed more improvement in quality of life and more reduction in response inhibition. After one month, the increase in quality of life continued in both groups, while the decrease in response time continued only in the LZNFB group. Conclusion. Both LZNFB and attention bias modification training are effective in improving quality of life and response inhibition of men with OUD under MMT, however, LZNFB is more effective.
