Written by clinical and academic specialists in their fields, and providing a comprehensive overview of the principles and practice of addiction medicine, this textbook will facilitate such training.The book's 36 chapters, by 62 specialist contributors, are organised into 5 sections.In Section 1, how substance use can be understood and core principles of management of substance-use disorders are outlined.In Section 2, the clinical and other core skills required for practice are described: clinical assessment, therapeutic relationship, psychological interventions, screening and brief interventions, drug testing and biomarkers of consumption, responsible prescribing, and medico-legal assessment and report-writing.In Section 3, common clinical issues - intoxication and overdose, withdrawal, comorbidities, and pain management and pharmaceutical opioids - are described.Section 4, the largest section, is devoted to consideration of specific substances, legal, illegal, and emerging: tobacco, alcohol, opioids, cannabis, stimulants, hallucinogens, benzodiazepines, and volatile substances. The focus of Section 5 is special populations, adolescents, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, injecting-drug users, and others.With new clinical syndromes arising from synthesis of new substances, and with new approaches to treatment being developed, addiction medicine is a rapidly-evolving field. The book is designed to meet the specific needs of a young graduate who is starting a clinical rotation in a drug and alcohol unit. Medical students and junior medical officers will find the book valuable, as will other health professionals who care for people With substance-use problems in drug and alcohol services, nurses, counsellors, and welfare/social workers Analysis Australian Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed December 14, 2015) Subject Drug abuse -- Treatment -- Australia Alcoholism -- Treatment -- Australia Substance abuse -- Treatment -- Australia Drug abuse.
