"This highly anticipated book covers what we as addiction specialists seek out on a daily basis: personalized plans to treat each and every one of the millions of patients with addiction disorders. Integrating Psychological and Pharmacological Treatments for Addictive Disorders begins by exploring the vast epidemic of addiction through data, and then provides detailed chapters—written by leading specialists—for specific addictive disorders. Thank you for such an invaluable resource!"

"This bookprovides excellent state-of-the-art knowledge of addictive disorders, ranging from epidemiology to biological theories and treatment options. It covers alcohol, tobacco, opioids, stimulants, and cannabis addiction. It should be useful to students wanting an addiction primer as well as to clinicians wanting to review, or enhance, their knowledge. Well-referenced chapters allow interested readers to delve further into specific topic areas. Importantly, the book provides information on dual diagnosis/co-morbid psychopathology and gambling, as well as how primary care medicine can play a larger role in assessing and treating alcohol/drug addiction."
