Essential. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals/practitioners." (Choice 2012-09-03)

"The authors...have packed this book with unique insights and a thoughtful distillation of what research has taught us about the nature of addiction and its treatment....I was most impressed by their inclusion of a lengthy chapter on the importance of individualizing treatment plans, and selecting the most appropriate treatments for clients based on research and evidence....Eminently practical and authoritative, this book provides real-world, practical information for improving addiction treatment and for increasing the adoption of evidence-based practices among clinicians. Moreover, it identifies and illustrates the issues that arise in addiction treatment, including topics such as responding to resistance, enhancing adherence, promoting maintenance, working with groups, and addressing the spiritual side of addiction treatment....An excellent integrative guide that empowers readers with a wealth of information, understanding, and advice....I highly recommend adding this book to your library or collection."
