Focussing on end-of-life care for people who use, or have used,
substances, this book explores their social and health care needs
and the multiple disadvantages they have often experienced,
discussing the complexities around access to care that result.
Presenting models of good practice, case studies and empirically
based evidence, Substance Use, End-of-Life Care is informative,
rigorous and useful for policy and practice development. The first
section foregrounds the personal experiences of people living with
substance use, their families and friends, and the health and
social care professionals who work with them. The second section
looks at how health inequalities can impact people in need of
palliative care, including chapters on health literacy, mental
health and learning disabilities. The final section explores social
challenges that may be experienced, including homelessness, sex
work, racism and incarceration. This interdisciplinary volume is
essential for researchers, practitioners, students and educators
working around substance use, mental health and palliative and
end-of-life care, who are looking for guidance and a reference for
their work in supporting people at the end of their lives who have
multiple and often complex needs.
