With contributions from leading international academics across the
biological sciences, this handbook takes a critical look at the key
contemporary issues and debates in the field. The 31 chapters are
divided into four parts: Part I Determination of Substance Misuse
Part II PK and PD in Relation to Patterns of Use Part III Detection
and Treatment of Drug and Alcohol Use Part IV Controversies and New
Approaches This Handbook is an excellent reference text for the
growing number of academics, students, scientists and practitioners
in the drug and alcohol studies community, and will be a vital
resource to the allied professions involved in work-place drug
testing, clinical toxicology, and forensic science.
Drug misuse and dependence is an ever evolving field of study,
which has exploded over recent years owing to the advent of the
internet. Due to the ever-growing number of young people using
drugs recreationally and the privatisation of drug screening and
detection services, there is the need to disseminate evidence-based
information concerning the technology and methods available for
studying this expanding field. Detection of Drug Misuse describes
the current state-of-the-art techniques used for identifying and
confirming drug misuse as well as recent advances in biomarkers,
instrumentation and analysis methodology. The title discusses both
recreational and designer drugs, including non-addictive and
addictive drugs. This book is a useful and fascinating resource for
healthcare professionals working in the field of drug misuse as
well as academics and postgraduates researching within analytical,
chromatography, medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry; drug
metabolism; addiction science; and forensic toxicology, science and
medicine.
