Disinhibition is present in various maladaptive behaviors, including substance use disorders. Most previous research has assumed that disinhibition is a psychological construct that is relatively stable within individuals. However, recent evidence suggests that the ability to inhibit behavior fluctuates in response to environmental and psychological triggers. In this review we discuss some of the factors that cause (dis)inhibition to fluctuate, we examine whether these fluctuations contribute to subjective craving and substance consumption, and we ask if they might increase the risk of relapse in those who are attempting to abstain. The research that we discuss has furthered our understanding of the causal relationships between disinhibition and substance use disorders, and it also highlights opportunities to develop novel treatment interventions. We conclude that substance misusers and their therapists should be made aware of the triggers that can cause disinhibition to fluctuate, and we highlight the need for more research to investigate the effectiveness of inhibitory control training in clinical settings.
Environmental triggers and psychological processes that underlie changes in state disinhibition, and their influence on substance use. Individuals have a stable capacity for inhibitory control, but a component of this capacity appears to fluctuate in response to environmental triggers and psychological processes. If individuals are in a disinhibited state, they are more likely to engage in substance use, or relapse to substance use after a period of abstinence. If individuals experience a decrease in state disinhibition, they are less likely to engage in substance use, or relapse. Drug-related cues, alcohol intoxication, ego depletion, arousal, stress, motivational biases, and over-confidence all lead to increased disinhibition and thereby increase the risk of substance use. Disinhibition can be reduced after different types of cognitive training, by motivational biases, and by moderate levels of stress and arousal – resulting in a reduced risk of substance use.
