Resumen

Antecedentes: en los últimos años se escucha cada vez más la afi rmación de que las adicciones son una enfermedad cerebral, dejando a un lado la clásica explicación biopsico-social en adicciones. Objetivo: describir ambos modelos y analizar la debilidad y reduccionismo del modelo de enfermedad cerebral siguiendo el Vietnan Veteram Study, sobre el consumo de heroína, en los soldados norteamericanos que participaron en la guerra del Vietnam. Método: revisión de la literatura del Vietnam Veteran Study en relación al consumo de drogas. Resultados: los soldados incrementaron de modo importante el consumo de heroína en Vietnam, pero casi todos dejaron de consumirla a su vuelta a casa. Analizando los factores ambientales relacionados con esta auto-cura se hace una crítica del modelo de enfermedad cerebral en adicciones ya que el mismo no puede explicar este ni otros estudios. Conclusión: el modelo biopsicosocial sigue siendo el mejor modelo para el campo de las adicciones debido a su utilidad, coherencia y efi cacia en su tratamiento.
