This volume reviews recent research into the nature and effects of
addiction and considers the usefulness of policies which aim to
prevent it. The contributors focus on topics such as smoking,
alcoholism, gambling and injecting drug use, examining treatment
and the effectiveness of prevention and intervention programmes.
Such programmes include services for steroid users, needle exchange
provision, and social workers' intervention in alcoholism. The
reasons why people turn to substance abuse are explored as well as
the real effects on health along with other subjects of importance
to social workers such as the estimation of drug misuse prevalence.
There is also discussion of government policy on drugs in Britain
and Holland.
