About this title

Synopsis

Written for professionals working with substance abusers, this book is a comprehensive clinical primer on diagnosis and treatment. Nonencyclopedic yet thorough in approach, Substance Abuse Disorders in Clinical Practice covers all commonly abused substances, as well as the modalities most frequently used in substance abuse treatment. It describes history-taking when substance abuse is an issue, interpretation of toxicology results, principles of diagnosis, and a spectrum of treatment programs to which substance abusers may be referred. It also reviews emergency problems such as the management of drug-toxic states, surgery on drug abusers, and caretaking of pregnant substance abusers.
