Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The worldwide burden of alcoholism on affected individuals, their families, and society is enormous. People with alcohol use disorders tend to miss work, get into problems with the law, have financial difficulties, and alienate family and friends.

They report on their experiences and views and discuss the results of studies on the use of baclofen to treat alcoholism. Whether you are a patient, family member, or doctor, this book will help you understand the history of baclofen's use, current research on its use to treat alcohol use disorders, and whether it might be a viable option for your life or practice.…
