Changes to drug and alcohol policy post-1995 introduced the
partnership style of working and many different routes by which
treatment can be accessed. This means that a wide variety of
professional groups now work with drug and alcohol users. "The book
makes a major contribution to the understanding substance use,
drawing on relevant and recent policy. It draws on practice and
engages the reader in current debates in the area. The book
provides theoretical underpinnings that are influential in
practice. As key aspect of social work practice, substance misuse
is relevant for practitioners. A much needed book for students,
practitioners and policy-makers." Bridget Ng'andu, Ruskin College
This book provides an analytical and critical discussion of policy
and practice in this area. It lays out the key debates and issues
for understanding, exploring, dealing and working with substance
misuse issues, users, their families and other professionals. The
reader is introduced to the policy framework and why it is
important for generic social work and other health and social care
practitioners to have an understanding of substance misuse and the
issues involved. The reader is assisted to think about how they can
use their professional skills and values to inform assessments and
interventions with substance users and reflective exercises
encourage the reader to consider values issues and examine their
own attitudes. This book will be valuable to students and
practitioners wishing to update their skills and knowledge.
