Integrating Psychological and Pharmacological Treatments for Addictive Disorders cover

Integrating Psychological and Pharmacological Treatments for Addictive Disorders distills the complex literature on addiction, offering a curated toolbox of integrated pharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatments in chapters authored by leading experts. Introductory chapters on the epidemiology, etiology, and fundamentals of addiction treatment provide a concise overview of the state of the field. Subsequent chapters then focus on the treatment of specific substance use disorders and on gambling disorder. Finally, a chapter on the treatment of addiction in primary care addresses the opportunities for clinical care in non-specialist outpatient settings. Physicians, psychologists, social workers, and other mental health professionals will come away from the book with an essential understanding of evidence-based practice in treating addiction and the scientific foundations of those approaches.

"This book includes both depth and breadth in the area of addictive disorders, providing state-of-the-art knowledge of the etiology, prevalence, and evidence-based interventions to enable better decision-making for providers in their practice. It is particularly helpful in helping to discern integrated pharmacological and psychological treatment approaches. A must-read primer for both seasoned and early career practitioners and researchers!"
Andrea King, professor, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences, director, Clinical Addictions Research Laboratory, University of Chicago

"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!"
Bankole A. Johnson, DSc, MD, Dr. Irving J. Taylor Professor and Chair, Department of Psychiatry, University of Maryland School of Medicine

"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."
