About this book
The spectrum of addiction disorders presents practitioners with numerous challenges—among them the widening gap between a growing evidence base and the translation of this knowledge into treatment outcomes. Addiction Medicine addresses this disconnect, clearly explaining the role of brain function in drug taking and other habit-forming behaviors, and applying this biobehavioral framework to the delivery of evidence-based treatment. Its state-of-the-art coverage provides clinically relevant details on not only traditional sources of addiction such as cocaine, opiates, and alcohol, but also more recently recognized substances of abuse (e.g., steroids, inhalants) as well as behavioral addictions (e.g., binge eating, compulsive gambling, hoarding). Current behavioral and medical therapies are discussed in depth, and the book’s close attention to social context gives readers an added lens for personalizing treatment.
An international panel of expert contributors offers the most up-to-dateinformation on:
Diagnosis and classification
Neurobiological and molecular theories of addiction
Behavioral concepts of addiction
Clinical aspects of addiction to a wide range of substances, including opiates, stimulants, sedatives, hallucinogens, alcohol, nicotine, and caffeine
Science-based treatment options: pharmacotherapy, pharmacogenetics, potential vaccines, brief and compliance-enhancing interventions, cognitive behavioral treatment, behavioral management, and other psychosocial interventions
Behavioral addictions—including compulsive eating, Internet messaging, and hypersexuality—and their treatment
Addiction in specific populations, including adolescents, the elderly, pregnant women, and health care professionals
Legal, disability, and rehabilitation issues
At once comprehensive and integrative, Addiction Medicine is an essential text and a practice-expanding tool for psychiatrists, health psychologists, pharmacologists, social workers, drug counselors, trainees, and general physicians/family practitioners.

scientifically based, holistic approach and give us a clear message how to
treat them. … I recommend this textbook as an unavoidable reading and great
help for all experts dealing with the problems from the field of addiction
medicine.” (Assist. Prof. Ana Matošić, Alcoholism and Psychiatry Research, Vol.
