This is a comprehensive textbook in substance abuse education for the caring professions. Relevant psychopharmacology and central nervous system data are presented in language accessible to readers lacking a scientific background. Explanatory theories are provided and the effects of drugs on human behaviour explained. Patterns of drug abuse and the appropriate treatment are related to age, ethnicity and gender. The authors describe treatment approaches such as self-help, medication, individual, group and family. Finally, they deal with contemporary treatment controversies and prevention.
