Expert contributors present widely used assessment and treatment approaches together with detailed recommendations for tailoring interventions to each client's needs.

Throughout, helpful case vignettes illustrate how to translate the ideas presented into practice and overcome common stumbling blocks."

In the classroom, it is an invaluable text for undergraduate- or graduate-level courses in addictions and substance abuse."--BOOK JACKET.
