Treating Drinkers and Drug Users in the Community Zusammenfassung

Treating Drinkers and Drug Users in the Community A. Banks

"Treating Drinkers and Drug Users in the Community" is the second book in a new collection from Addiction Press. Addiction Press was set up with the express purpose of communicating current ideas and evidence in this expanding field, not only to researchers and practising health professionals, but also to policy makers, students and interested non-specialists. These publications are designed to address the significant challenges that addiction presents to modern society. The drugs field has undergone a phase of rapid change in recent years and all the non-medical treatment interventions for those with alcohol problems and dependence can be equally helpful for drug users. This has opened the way for unification of alcohol and drug treatment services at a clinical level, with potential for more efficient service provision and for effective interventions which can be readily adopted in a wide range of settings. Modern drug and alcohol services and all professionals working with substance users will benefit from the initiatives and procedures discussed in this book. It describes a wide range of treatments for young people and adults with drug and alcohol dependence. It integrates alcohol and drug prevention and treatment. It provides an invaluable and accessible guide for many different professionals. It sets out assessment criteria, questionnaires, and a joint treatment framework.

Treating Drinkers and Drug Users in the Community Bewertungen

"Only just seen this classic - how have I have missed it? This book looks at a wide range of interventions that can be used to help different people with different drug and alcohol problems at all stages. A breath of fresh air and a 'must read' for all practitioners and commissioners in the field." Professor David Clark, Drink and Drug News, July 2006 "Waller & Rumball's book has two outstanding features. First, it achieves admirably its ambition of being a thoroughly practical and eminently useful, modern guide to treatment and preventive work with alcohol and drug users. Secondly, an accurate empathy with the experiences of those suffering from alcohol and drug problems and a sincere respect for them as unique individuals is obvious on every page. For these reasons alone, the book is highly recommended for specialists in the field and those generalists who come into contact with alcohol and drug problems in their work." Addiction, Vol 101: 1, January 2006 "The excellent book Treating Drinkers and Drug Users in the Community by Daphne Rumball, an addiction specialist, and the late Tom Waller...describes the treatment options for substance misuse - focusing on psychosocial interventions, many of which can be carried out in a community and indeed primary care setting. The evidence in support of the treatments is well presented and the book is superbly referenced, acting as a valuable resource for further study. The book is well written and is accessible to professionals and the general public. It goes without saying that this book will provide an invaluable source of information. moreover it is a scholarly text and extremely well written. I strongly recomend this book and hope that in time it will become a classic." Clare Gerada, Psychiatric Bulletin, 2006
