This updated and revised second edition on substance abuse in
adolescents and young adults provides information on this global
public health topic. We cover a wide variety of subjects within the
paradigm of drug abuse and agree with the 21st century message of
integrating substance abuse management with primary care services.
The editors thank the many experts who so graciously and lambently
provided their time and knowledge in these areas. The editors hope
that the readers of this treatise find useful and beneficial
information that will help them in their work seeking to understand
and ameliorate the negative effects of these plants of paradise and
of other chemicals that are part of the drug addiction pharmacopeia
of the 21st century. The science of this field continues to evolve
and this edition looks at a wide variety of concepts in this
regard----including neurobiology, genetics, the role of the primary
care clinicians, the US opioid epidemic, and psychosocial
management. Specific drugs of abuse include tobacco, cannabis,
alcohol, opioids, prescription drugs, illicit stimulant drug abuse,
hallucinogens, and date rape drugs. We also look at concepts
related to prenatal drug exposure, substance abuse in adolescent
females, co-occurring substance use with psychiatric disorders,
prescription stimulant abuse in college students, and performance
enhancing drugs in sports. We conclude with a consideration of new
drugs of abuse in the 21st century, the societal burden of
substance abuse, and the pros as well as cons of drug legalization.
