Occupational therapy in addressing addictions: an updated review
Abstract
This review seeks to synthesize current knowledge on addressing addictions in occupational therapy. It was conducted through a search of EMBASE, JSTOR, LILACS and SCIELO databases of articles in the period 2003-2013 and international journals and books in both addictions and occupational therapy issues available online, with free and full text. The items found were related to occupational therapy intervention in drug addiction, mainly about the design of assessment tools and intervention proposals. Although signifcant efforts in researching are evident, those are insuffcient given the magnitude of the problem and the various approaches from which is possible address them. Only one case was evident in measuring the impact of occupational therapy programs. It is concluded that research is needed to stimulate the development of conceptual and empirical approach to addiction by occupational therapists.
