Description
This book is a step-by-step guide for therapists working with clients with alcohol or other drug dependency or misuse. The first edition was based upon the recommendations of the Quality Assurance in the Treatment of Drug Dependence Project, and has since become well known for its easy-to-read style. However, the evidence in the field has moved forward, and an updated edition is needed. The Second Edition retains the easy-to-use, up-to-date style, while adding new chapters on pharmacotherapies, case management, young people, and dual diagnosis. Other chapters have been updated to reflect the latest research findings and current practice, and the practice sheets and client handouts are available online for downloading and customization by therapists.

However, the evidence in the field has moved forward in the last eight years, creating a need for an updated edition. Retaining the trademark easy-to-use, up-to-date style, the Second Edition offers new chapters on pharmacotherapies, case management, young people, and dual diagnosis.
