About this work

Description

"Treatment Options in Addiction gives practical guidance about the medical treatments which have been shown in controlled studies to be helpful in managing alcohol and opiate abuse, but which many standard texts do not describe adequately. Since opiate abusers often abuse alcohol as well, and vice versa, traditional divisions between those who treat only one or the other are breaking down. Health professionals need to know about both fields. Students and researchers will find Treatment Options unusually up to date and well referenced. It is the first addiction text to contain information about hair analysis for drugs of abuse, and it describes new techniques for rapid withdrawal from opiates. However, it does not ignore the psychosocial aspects of addiction, and it discusses ways of helping those whose offending relates to drug and alcohol abuse to stay out of prison."--From cover.
