Overview

This book reviews the myriad of elements that layer substance abuse disorder, a significant public health issue.

Subsequent to this are chapters dedicated to specific addiction disorders, including cocaine, opioids, gambling, food, and sex addictions. Chapters also examine how addiction can differ among various neurobiological, genetic, socioeconomic, and age demographics. The book closes with histories, policies, and modalities of drug use which serve as a key component to building a foundation for effective and ethical health policy.  Written by international experts in addiction psychiatry, Substance and Non-Substance Related Addictions: A Global Approach is avaluable resource for all practitioners seeking to expand their knowledge of addiction medicine.
