Description
Working with Substance Users: A Guide to Effective Interventions provides essential knowledge and skills for social care and health professionals working with individuals struggling with drug and alcohol problems. This comprehensive guide covers the core principles of effective interventions, including assessment and care planning, pharmacological treatments, and cognitive behavioural therapy. The book also addresses specific groups, such as adolescents and involuntary service users, as well as the impact of parental substance use on children and adults affected by a relative's addiction. Supported by case examples and practical activities, this text equips readers with the knowledge and skills needed to work effectively with substance users. By providing a thorough understanding of the nature of problematic use and effective interventions, Working with Substance Users is an invaluable resource for anyone working in social care or health.
