This textbook surveys the current knowledge on substance use
disorders (SUD), summarizing scientific evidence from numerous
fields. It uses a biopsychosocial framework to integrate the many
factors that contribute to addictions, from genetic
predispositions, neurological responses caused by drugs,
co-occurring psychiatric disorders, personality traits, and
developmental conditions to cultural influences. Real-life
vignettes and first-person accounts build understanding of the
lived experience of addiction. The currently accepted practices for
diagnosis and treatment are presented, including the role of
12-step programmes and other mutual-assistance groups. The text
also investigates the research methods that form the foundation of
evidence-based knowledge. The main body text is augmented by study
guideposts such as learning objectives, review exercises,
highlighted key terms, and chapter summaries, which enable more
efficient comprehension and retention of the book's material.
