Addictive Disorders in Medical Populations
"This book has a much wider focus than traditional books written about drug and alcohol addictions. This unique book is written by medical specialists who diagnose, treat and research addictive disorders in their specialties. Thus, it meets the needs of the typical medical practitioner who wants to learn about and treat patients with addictive disorders in their practices". (HPC Market Watch, 14 December 2010)
"Specific topics include ethical issues in addictive medicine, the clinical pharmacology of addictive drugs, addiction and short-term pain management, alcohol use and diseases of the eye, renal manifestations of recreational drug use, addictive disorders in the elderly, and brief interventions for alcohol and drug problems." (SciTech Book News, December 2010)

Currently, there are no authoritative addiction texts that focus on the identification, intervention and management of either "addictive disorders in medical populations" or "medical complications in addiction populations". Neurobiological progress in the field of addiction has been amazing and evidence-based treatments have developed at a phenomenal pace, with bench to office applications for tobacco, alcohol and drugs. Pharmacological and psychosocial treatments are described here in detail and in practical terms. The medical and mental complications of addiction are explained comprehensively throughout the text. Clinical considerations are the predominant theme, with the standards of clinical practice grounded in the most current research. The chapters include practical presentations of both clinical and research materials, with instruments for screening and assessment and treatment. It will be useful for all those seeking information to help a patient or family with a tobacco, alcohol or drug problem. We hope this book can give answers and direction to the identification and management of addictions and their medical complications in patient populations.
