A major national goal is to improve the health of the populace
while advancing our opportunities to pursue happiness. Simulta
neously, there are both increasing health costs and increasing
demands that more be accomplished with less financial support. With
the number of deaths attributable to drug abuse, especially of
tobacco, in the US at about 250,000 per year, the annual cost of
drug addiction is over $150 billion. Improved treatment methods can
both reduce these costs and improve health by preventing the
continued exposure of abusers to the toxic effects of alcohol and
other drugs. This fourth volume of Drug and Alcohol Abuse Reviews
focuses on the strategies currently thought best for the treatment
of drugs of abuse. A variety of approaches to drug abuse treatment
employ those psychosocial factors that are known to influence drug
use in youth and adults. Although the main emphasis is on the
treatment of illicit drug use, a major cofactor in damaging the
health of drug users is nicotine (tobacco) addiction, whose
treatment is also reviewed. And the roles of learning and
outpatient services are shown to affect treatment significantly.
Thus, the problems confronted and solutions used in drug abuse
treatment have here been analyzed in concise reviews that deal with
the evidence for today' s best hypotheses and conclusions. Some
emphasis is also placed on reviewing new compounds used to prevent
cocaine and opioid dependence."
