This book has been written to serve as a manual for physicians
practicing in a private office setting to recognize and recommend
appropriate treatment for patients believed to be substance
abusers. While it is not written for drug abuse specialists, it
provides information regarding the diagnosis and treatments a
competent, concerned physician can provide without becoming
immersed in addiction treatment. Topics discussed include the
degree to which a physician should become involved, when it is
appropriate to refer, using other professions and volunteer groups,
and useful medications. Guidelines for recognizing substance abuse,
testing to confirm the abuse, confronting the patient, and
motivating the patient into specific treatment are also presented.
Tables and illustrations are used to summarize major points, making
this an extremely useful reference tool for internists and other
non-specialist private practitioners.
