Description

This new series is directed to healthcare professionals who increasingly need information on holistic approaches to chronic illness in response to the growing demand from patients. Managed care has deferred responsibility for initial diagnosis and treatment of chronic conditions to primary care physicians and other healthcare professionals. The University of California's Institute for Health and Aging predicts that by 2020, 134 million Americans will have some form of chronic condition that will cause personal limitations or disabilities. Only about 33% of these patients will be "elderly". This book provides a clear and concise introduction to the understanding and treatment of substance abuse for the non-specialist. Included is important information on the nature of addiction, the brain chemistry and its interaction with psychoactive drug pharmacology, and current treatment protocols. Also included is information on treating all age groups, women and other specific populations.
