About this book
Handbook of Substance Misuse and Addictions: From Biology to Public Health 1st edition by Vinood B. Patel and Victor R. Preedy provides a comprehensive multidisciplinary reference on substance misuse, addiction science, and their implications for individual and population health. The handbook connects biological mechanisms, behavioral science, epidemiology, clinical management, prevention, education, and public health policy to provide an integrated understanding of addictive behaviors and agents of misuse.
The 1st edition covers neurobiology and reward pathways, attitudes toward substance misuse, epidemiology, risk factors, prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. Detailed sections examine alcohol, tobacco, opioids and prescription medications, cannabinoids, caffeine, stimulants, club drugs, dissociative drugs, hallucinogens, inhalants, steroids, and emerging agents of misuse, together with behavioral addictions, polydrug use, public safety, and harm reduction.
This reference is intended primarily for researchers, graduate students, clinicians, public health professionals, addiction specialists, epidemiologists, health educators, and professionals studying substance use and addiction. Its broad interdisciplinary coverage supports advanced coursework, addiction research, public health planning, clinical education, prevention programs, and investigation of the biological, psychological, and social dimensions of substance misuse.
Addiction researchers, public health professionals, clinicians, behavioral scientists, and graduate students can use this 2022 edition to examine mechanisms of addiction, compare substances and behavioral addictions, evaluate prevention and treatment approaches, and study the wider health and social consequences of misuse. The complete 1st edition is available as a searchable PDF enhanced digital version with instant access for research, coursework, clinical reference, and professional education.
