Addiction Medicine: Science and Practice
Johnson, Bankole A.
Addiction Medicine: Science and Practice [E-Book] - 2nd ed. - Philadelphia, PA Elsevier 2020
The spectrum of addiction disorders presents practitioners with numerous challengesamong them the widening gap between a growing evidence base and the translation of this knowledge into treatment outcomes. Addiction Medicine addresses this disconnect, clearly explaining the role of brain function in drug taking and other habit-forming behaviors, and applying this biobehavioral framework to the delivery of evidence-based treatment. Its state-of-the-art coverage provides clinically relevant details on not only traditional sources of addiction such as cocaine, opiates, and alcohol, but also more recently recognized substances of abuse (e.g., steroids, inhalants) as well as behavioral addictions (e.g., binge eating, compulsive gambling, hoarding). Current behavioral and medical therapies are discussed in depth, and the books close attention to social context gives readers an added lens for personalizing treatment.
