Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
While knowledge on substance abuse and addictions is expanding rapidly, clinical practice still lags behind. This state-of-the-art book brings together leading experts to describe what treatment and prevention would look like if it were based on the best science available. The volume incorporates developmental, neurobiological, genetic, behavioral, and social-environmental perspectives. Tightly edited chapters summarize current thinking on the nature and causes of alcohol and other drug problems; discuss what works at the individual, family, and societal levels; and offer robust principles for developing more effective treatments and services.

I'm only half way through this book but I have learned so much. It is filled with informative material, reporting on state of the art addiction information. I'm really glad I spent the money on this book. Its a hard read sometime, difficult concepts are being presented, but even though I'm a lay reader, I am able to fully understand the material.
Rated by buyers -
A great book that focuses your mind on the real scientific research behind substance abuse, and moves folks away from treatment myths, public misconceptions, and from knee jerk thinking about substance abuse problems. Because a substantial portion of criminal justice is fueled by substance abuse, prosecutors like myself can make better policy decisions if they understand the nature of the disease. Defense counsel can make better decisions that can make a long term improvement in the lives of their clients, probation and parole can understand and react to problems correctly. Treatment professionals can follow the quickly emerging science that suggests changes in treatment curriculum and strategies to address specific challenges.
