"Treating Drinkers and Drug Users in the Community" is the second
book in a new collection from Addiction Press. Addiction Press was
set up with the express purpose of communicating current ideas and
evidence in this expanding field, not only to researchers and
practising health professionals, but also to policy makers,
students and interested non-specialists. These publications are
designed to address the significant challenges that addiction
presents to modern society.
The drugs field has undergone a phase of rapid change in recent
years and all the non-medical treatment interventions for those
with alcohol problems and dependence can be equally helpful for
drug users. This has opened the way for unification of alcohol and
drug treatment services at a clinical level, with potential for
more efficient service provision and for effective interventions
which can be readily adopted in a wide range of settings. Modern
drug and alcohol services and all professionals working with
substance users will benefit from the initiatives and procedures
discussed in this book.
