This leading professional resource and course text is now in a substantially revised fourth edition, with 75% new material reflecting 15 years of advances in practice and policy. Expert contributors provide an overview of assessment and intervention with clients with substance use disorders (SUD) and describe evidence-based treatment modalities. Specific populations are addressed, including adolescents, older adults, women, sexual and gender minority clients, people with co-occurring mental health challenges and/or behavioral addictions, and system-impacted clients. The book explains current models of SUD service delivery and identifies emerging issues facing the field. Throughout the chapters, case examples illustrate the techniques discussed.

New to This Edition
  • Chapters on additional clinical approaches: pharmacological interventions, contingency management, and group-based treatment.
  • Chapters on additional populations: unhoused individuals and people involved with the legal system.
  • Chapter on integrative health care.
  • Prior edition chapters are rewritten or extensively revised.
