Title: Drug abuse treatment
Description: "Drug Abuse Treatment, together with its companion volume, Alcohol Abuse Treatment, critically examines the many difficult issues and complex strategies associated with the successful treatment of substance abuse today." "Because of the high cost in lives, health, and dollars, the need for improved techniques and strategies for the treatment and reduction of substance abuse has become a critical national priority." "In this volume of Drug & Alcohol Abuse Reviews, Ronald R. Watson and key researchers in the field of drug abuse treatment evaluate both old and new methods, carefully reviewing current data to determine the value of the most important treatment programs in current use. Featured topics include, cocaine and heroin addiction treatment, relapse problems and treatment, nicotine abuse treatment, strategy for drug treatment systems, psychological correlates of drug abuse, outpatient drug abuse treatment, and pharmacotherapy for drug abuse." "Drug Abuse Treatment and its complementary volume on Alcohol Abuse Treatment together offer a thorough review and analysis of drug and alcohol abuse treatment options, providing researchers and clinicians with a valuable framework for understanding, planning, and delivering the effective substance abuse treatment that is so urgently needed now."--BOOK JACKET.
