That the Parliament highlights the Adverse Childhood Experience study, The Origins of Addictions, which bridges a relationship between adverse childhood experiences, including childhood sexual abuse, and the development of addiction problems in later life; understands that the American study analysed 17,000 adults and discovered that the compulsive use of nicotine, alcohol and injected street drugs increases proportionally to the intensity of adverse life experiences during childhood, whereby the risk of becoming an injected drug user increased as much as 46-fold when compared with no exposure to adverse experiences; notes the significance of the Addictions Psychology Audit by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, which found that 49% of patients receiving counselling had suffered from childhood sexual abuse; acknowledges the dependency of addictions for survivors of childhood sexual abuse in which resorting to drugs or alcohol often allows survivors to escape from the horrific and traumatic memories and flashbacks, and believes that addiction services and psychological support would treat addiction more effectively as an experience-dependent and not just a substance-dependent condition.
