Pharmacotherapy for Complex Substance Use DisordersA Practical Guide

Format: Paperback

Condition: Very Good — £34.66
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

In 2020, the National Survey on Drug Use and Health estimated that 40.3 million Americans met the criteria for a substance use disorder (SUD) in the past year. Yet few FDA-approved treatments exist for SUDs--and no explicit treatment guidelines. When it comes to multi-SUDs in particular, the dearth of literature is notable.

This is where Pharmacotherapy for Complex Substance Use Disorders: A Practical Guide comes in. Fifteen addiction psychiatrists have contributed to this volume, bringing their clinical experience to bear for readers that include mental health and primary care clinicians.

Introductory chapters provide a necessary framework, offering an overview of SUDs; general guidelines for taking a history, making a medical and a psychiatric evaluation, and forming a diagnosis; and a discussion of the neurobiology of addiction.

In the subsequent chapters, the volume delves into maintenance pharmacological treatment for co-occurring substances that include

* Alcohol* Opioids* Psychostimulants* Novel psychoactive substances

Uniquely, this guide also discusses psychopharmacological approaches to working with special patient populations--adolescents, LGBTQ+ individuals, and pregnant people among them.

Filled with tables for ease of reference both when diagnosing and treating patients, and bolstered by evidence-based, actionable information, Pharmacotherapy for Complex Substance Use Disorders: A Practical Guide sets itself apart as an indispensable resource for all providers aiding individuals on their journeys of recovery.
