This book which is arguably the first of its kind in the country, systematically explains the various issues involved in the management of substance abuse disorders. After presenting a brief historical overview of drug abuse this book explains the concept of abuse and dependence. Diagnosis, epidemiology and a etiology of drug abuse disorders are then explained. It also discusses in detail the various substances which are being abused (pharmacology, mechanism of action etc.) Treatment and management of these disorders are also explained in detail.

The book provides useful information of legal and policy issues involving drug abuse disorders. It concludes with chapters on prevention, dual-diagnosis, and future trends and directions.

The book would serve as an excellent text not only for students pursuing courses in medical sciences and mental health, but also for various health professionals (doctors, medical-social workers, councillors, psychologists) working in this area as well. ISBN - 9788122414578
