Description
Addictions and Problem Drug Use Issues in Behaviour, Policy, and Practice by Michael Bloor and Fiona Wood. This volume reviews recent research into addiction, exploring its nature and effects. It considers the effectiveness of policies aimed at preventing it, including treatment and prevention programmes for various substance abuse issues such as smoking, alcoholism, gambling, and injecting drug use. The book examines the reasons behind people's turn to substance abuse, as well as the real health consequences, and discusses government policy on drugs in Britain and Holland. It also looks at the role of social workers in addressing addiction and provides insight into the estimation of drug misuse prevalence.
