Summary

This chapter describes pseudoscience and questionable ideas related to substance use disorders and addiction. The chapter opens by discussing diagnostic controversies and myths that influence treatments. Dubious treatments include naturopathy, homeopathy, orthomolecular medicine, acupuncture, energy medicine, hypnosis, chiropractic care, and animal-assisted therapy. The fuzzy boundary between science-based and pseudoscientific approaches is also considered. The chapter closes by reviewing research-supported approaches.
