The Wiley Concise Guides to Mental Health: Substance Use
Disorders uses clear, highly accessible language to guide
the reader through the entire continuum of addiction care and
present the latest scientific understanding of substance use and
abuse. This comprehensive, informative reference provides a
complete overview of diagnosis, treatment, research, emerging
trends, and other critical information about chemical addictions.
Both biomedical and psychiatric conditions and complications are
thoroughly covered.

Like all the books in the Wiley Concise Guides to Mental
Health series, Substance Use Disorders features a
compact, easy-to-use format that includes:

* Vignettes and case illustrations

* A practical approach that emphasizes real-life treatment over
theory

* Resources for specific readers such as clinicians, students, or
patients

In addition to the fundamentals of chemical addictions and
treatment, Substance Use Disorders covers some of the
most cutting-edge topics in the field, including innovative
treatment approaches, outcome demands, brain science,
relapse-prevention strategies, designer drugs, spirituality, and
other areas. This straightforward resource is admirably suited for
a wide variety of readers, from those in the helping professions,
to law enforcement personnel, to recommended reading for clients
currently in treatment.
