Presents guidelines on how clinicians can improve in their delivery of health care when dealing with substance abuse patients. The book addresses the scope of the problems using the research literature available about alcohol use and abuse and the use of illicit drugs. It suggests that clinicians provide opportunities for intervention with substance abuse problems at the early stages of disease progression hence the need for them to discuss substance use, abuse and prevention. The guidelines discuss the relation between substance abuse and primary care, screening for substance use disorders, intervention and assessment, specialised substance abuse treatments programmes, and implementation and recommendation guidelines.
