ASAM Handbook of Addiction Medicine (2 edn)

Edited by Darius Rastegar and Michael I. Fingerhood

Previous Edition (1 ed.)

Abstract

This book is a concise, evidence-based guide to the treatment of individuals with substance use disorders. It is an update to the 2015 edition and is targeted to nonspecialist clinicians who want to better care for their patients with substance use disorders. It begins with chapters on screening and brief intervention and an overview of treatment. This is followed by substance-specific chapters covering the following topics: alcohol, sedatives, opioids, nicotine, stimulants, hallucinogens, cannabinoids, inhalants, anabolic steroids, and prescription drugs. Substance-specific chapters cover pharmacology, acute effects and intoxication, withdrawal, medical complications, and treatment. The handbook concludes with chapters on the medical care of patients with substance use disorders, psychiatric co-occurring disorders, special populations, and ethical/legal considerations. Chapters include practical tools and treatment protocols that can be used in outpatient and inpatient settings. The book contains numerous references, many of which are annotated.
