Substance Use Disorders: Assessment and Treatment is a summary of
everything a therapist should know about substance abuse in one
easy-to-read comprehensive book. The book begins with a discussion
of the pharmacology of specific drug classes (opioids,
hallucinogens, etc.) and the epidemiology of abuse. It then
presents psychological theories of substance abuse, the initiation
and progression of substance abuse disorders, issues of prevention
and early intervention, and screening and assessment for substance
abuse (including specific tests for assessment) and discusses in
detail the various treatment methodologies available. Two final
chapters explore issues relevant to special populations and legal
and ethical considerations, regarding issues such as
confidentiality and coerced treatment.
