In this much-needed text, leading international experts explore
crucial aspects of people's experience of long-term recovery from
substance use. Centred around the voices of people who use
substances, the book examines the complex and continuing needs of
people who have sought to change their use of substances,
investigating the ways in which personal characteristics and social
and systemic factors intersect to influence the lives of people in
long-term recovery. With perspectives from Sweden, Norway, Germany,
Belgium, Iceland and the United Kingdom, it also considers the role
and needs of family members, and puts forward clear recommendations
for improving future research, policy and practice.
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.

Social workers and other social care professionals regularly face
the challenges of working with people with alcohol and other drug
problems. Yet many receive little, if any, training for working
with these issues. As substance use and its social impact on
communities and families rises up the political agenda, this book
offers a timely support for social workers and other social care
staff working in this area. Supporting people with alcohol and drug
problems addresses the current gap in social work and social care
education. It provides a combination of research evidence, policy
frameworks, and practical hints and tips for good social work
practice. Based around practice examples supplied by social workers
from both adults' and children's social care, it combines knowledge
with action. It also provides an important introduction to the
evidence base on assessment, intervention and partnership working
with specialist substance use colleagues. This book is for all
those working in children's and adults' social work and social care
settings who are working with people who use, or have problems
with, alcohol and other drugs.

The primary objective of this research was to understand what role
women thought alcohol played in their partners' violence to them.
It aimed to: 1) question whether women blamed alcohol for their
partners' violence, 2) establish whether the women made allowances
for their partners' violence because of their partners' drinking,
3) determine the extent to which the women believed alcohol played
a key role in such violence, 4) explore any differences in the
women's beliefs about alcohol's role in violence when it was
directed at others, and when it was directed at them, 5) develop
theory, grounded in the women's views, that offers an explanation
for alcohol's role in the violence they experienced. In-depth,
semi-structured, interviews were conducted with 20 women who
suffered violence or abuse from their partners. Due to the subject
of this research and the absence of women's views in research on
this subject, a grounded theory approach was used, located within a
feminist research framework. The study concluded that while the
women accept that alcohol has disinhibiting effects, they do not
blame alcohol for their partners' violence and abuse.
