DESCRIPTION
Stay up to date with the latest substance abuse treatments and modes
of intervention with The Substance Abuse Handbook, 2e. The editors
are both nationally recognized clinicians, and provide authoritative,
clinically oriented information on the subject of substance use, abuse,
and dependence, with an emphasis on diagnosis, treatment, and
prevention. You’ll find focused, expert information on every aspect of
the field, including etiological factors; substances of abuse; compulsive
and addictive behaviors; evaluation and diagnostic classification;
treatment modalities, management of associated medical conditions;
substance abuse in youth and the elderly; women's issue; special groups
and settings; models of prevention; training and education; and policy
issues. Succinctly presenting the most clinically relevant information
from Lowinson and Ruiz's Substance Abuse, 5e, this concise, portable
handbook is a must-have reference for anyone involved directly or
indirectly in the addiction field.
The ideal quick reference for the busy mental health clinician seeing
