Features: · Guidance for spotting and managing addicted patients · All common and important drugs of addiction, from opioids, cocaine, club drugs, and alcohol, to tobacco, marijuana, nitrous oxide, inhalants, and propofol · Special populations, including pregnant women, pain patients, adolescents, older patients, and healthcare professionals · Fascinating overview of the long history of addiction · Genetic basis of addiction, and the range of pharmacological treatments for addiction |
