Addictive Disorders in Medical Populations

"This book has a much wider focus than traditional books written about drug and alcohol addictions. This unique book is written by medical specialists who diagnose, treat and research addictive disorders in their specialties. Thus, it meets the needs of the typical medical practitioner who wants to learn about and treat patients with addictive disorders in their practices". (HPC Market Watch, 14 December 2010)

"Specific topics include ethical issues in addictive medicine, the clinical pharmacology of addictive drugs, addiction and short-term pain management, alcohol use and diseases of the eye, renal manifestations of recreational drug use, addictive disorders in the elderly, and brief interventions for alcohol and drug problems."
