Overview

This book describes frontline clinical treatment of HIV infected chemically dependent persons, aiming to provide a realistic view of what the daily work with this population is like. By concentrating on practical instead of theoretical aspects of treatment, it aims to help practitioners better understand problems in treatment and shows different ways treatment can be given. Authors discuss and describe methods they use such as group work, drug and AIDS education, treatment teams, and the harm reduction model. Chapters address work with specific patient populations with the dual diagnosis of HIV and chemical dependency and describe treatment of a variety of modalities, such as outpatient, residential or hospital setting.
