Substance abuse is one of higher education's worst problems not
only in terms of financial but also human cost. Drawing upon
current theory and research, this handbook arrives at practical
solutions to these problems. While there are divergent models of
research and practice in substance abuse which have led to
competing models of intervention, treatment, and prevention, this
book seeks to reconcile those differences. It allows the reader to
understand substance abuse from theoretical/research perspectives
and guides the reader from conceptualization to programming to
intervention with the substance abusing student.
The book is divided into three parts. The first deals with ways
of conceptualizing substance-abuse and the models which have been
the basis for developing intervention strategies. Theories of how
substance abuse problems develop are discussed and some suggestions
are given as to how these theories may guide prevention,
intervention, and treatment. The second part focuses on how one
should establish policies and programming on campus, and how these
programming and policy decisions can help in prevention strategies.
The final part outlines how one can assess, intervene, and provide
treatment for a substance abuser. Included here is a chapter on
self-help groups and how they may be used in support of treatment
and aftercare.
