About this title

Synopsis

Are you a nurse feeling overwhelmed and unprepared when caring for patients with substance use disorders? Do you want to move beyond the stigma and provide truly effective, evidence-based, and compassionate care?

The Nurse's Clinical Guide to Addiction and Recovery is the practical, straightforward resource you've been searching for. This guide was built for the front lines of nursing—the busy emergency department, the complex medical-surgical floor, and the fast-paced outpatient clinic. It replaces judgment with science and frustration with skill, empowering you to handle one of the most challenging and growing areas of patient care with confidence.

Inside this essential toolkit, you will discover how to:

Master Withdrawal Management: Get step-by-step instructions for using the CIWA-Ar and COWS scales to safely manage alcohol, opioid, and benzodiazepine withdrawal.

Support Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): Understand your key role in supporting patients on buprenorphine, naltrexone, and methadone, including patient education and managing the induction process.

Apply Trauma-Informed Care: Shift your perspective from "What's wrong with you?" to "What happened to you?" and learn to create a safe environment that avoids re-traumatization.

Use Motivational Interviewing (MI): Learn the OARS framework to have productive, empathetic conversations that help patients find their own motivation for change.

Implement Harm Reduction Strategies: Confidently provide overdose prevention education, train families to use naloxone, and connect patients to life-saving community services.

Address Co-Occurring Disorders: Gain the skills to care for the whole person by understanding the deep connection between substance use and mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

This is more than a textbook; it is a clinical companion. Packed with realistic case studies, nursing care plans, and clear explanations, this guide will transform your practice. Stop feeling helpless and start becoming the knowledgeable, compassionate, and effective advocate your patients deserve.
