This book offers an accessible and comprehensive yet compact
description of various forms of addiction, a disorder suffered by
one in every 10 people in the United States. Now thought of as a
brain disorder, addiction affects millions of individuals, their
families, and society at large. Written by experts who treat people
with addiction, this text provides an up-to-date explanation of
different addictions with respect to their history, treatments, and
related research. Readers will understand the causes,
complications, and treatment of addictions after reading this text.
Chapters cover the most serious addictions to drugs—alcohol,
tobacco, opioids, stimulants, inhalants, and sedative
hypnotics—and to highly addictive activity now recognized as a
behavioral addiction, gambling. Research into these addictions and
treatments for each specific addiction are reviewed. Chapters also
consider rapidly changing issues related to addiction, including
the increase in deaths due to the opioid epidemic, the evolving
legal status of marijuana, and the use of hallucinogens in therapy.
In addition to forms of addiction, the text addresses the
neurobiology of addiction; brain pathways involved in addiction are
just beginning to be understood.
