Substance misuse and its pervasive problems is a constant challenge
for social work, health and related professionals today. With
heightened political and policy emphasis on all aspects of
substance misuse, it is paramount that professionals remain
up-to-date on current issues and their responsibilities. Based on
research and evidence, this book provides a sound basis for
grounded and innovative practice. Leading international
contributors outline holistic and specialist approaches to policy
and practice, and highlight the shift in emphasis from immediate
risk minimisation to long-term recovery, the importance of
prevention and the pivotal role of workforce development. Issues
surrounding work with children and families affected by substance
misuse are explored, and ways of implementing new approaches
revealed. The book also looks at the impact of the smoking ban in
Scotland, and suggests ways to support tobacco use cessation. This
book is essential reading for all front-line practitioners working
with substance misusers, including social work, health
professionals and counsellors.
