Fundamentals of Addiction Counseling: An Introduction to Clinical Practice teaches the theory, and its practice manual is a separate book.
What's inside
Substances and what they do, assessment and diagnosis, then the treatment models, with multicultural and ethical questions raised inside each topic rather than parked in one chapter.
The live arguments get room too: what counts as evidence, the opioid crisis, medication assisted treatment, care that is genuinely joined up, and clients who did not choose to be there.
Who it's for
Graduate programmes in counseling, psychology and social work, plus behavioural health staff who came to addiction work sideways.
Details
Each chapter carries case vignettes, exercises, quizzes and group activities, so it survives being taught as well as being read.
