Synopsis

Given the prevalence of substance abuse in general clinical populations, it is important for healthcare providers to have knowledge and skill in the treatment of these problems. Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) involves the integration of the best evidence with clinical expertise and patient values. This text is designed as a bridge for practitioners that will provide up-to-date evidence reviews as well as information on how to best keep up with emerging trends in the field.  The editors have gathered expert authors to provide a much needed summary of the current status of the evidence based practice for both the assessment and treatment of specific substance use disorders.

"A comprehensive, evidence-based source for understanding the complex and pernicious topic of addiction. A well-written, practical, and researched text. It will be an indispensible resource for those new to the addiction area and serve as a primer for understanding the assessment and evidence-based treatment for substance abuse. The reporting of the most recent research findings and empirical support for various interventions will also make it a valuable reference for seasoned clinicians and researchers in the area of addiction." - Mark S.
