Inhaltsangabe

A comprehensive, practically-oriented account of the health care of drug users in the community, in relation both to fighting addiction and to managing related health problems (hepatitis, AIDS, vascular problems etc). This book aims to provide an understanding of how drug misuse arises, what sustains it, and how in practical terms to deal with it.



In most countries, care of drug users largely falls to community health workers (community psychiatrists, GPs, family practitioners etc) and the books emphasis is very much be on care in the community. There are fashions in the drugs that are misused, but the overall problem and its health/social implications continue to increase.



The book draws on international experience from major centres of drug abuse such as New York, Amsterdam and Edinburgh to present clear guidance on patient assessment and the full range of possible management options.
