商品簡介
Social work service providers need to better understand substance abuse across the lifespan and practice settings. In historical and contemporary UK policy and anti-oppressive practice contexts, Nelson (affiliation not given) discusses the potential effects of substances on service users; high-risk populations; harm reduction and recovery; and best practices including collaborative approaches, motivational interviewing, brief interventions, and the cognitive-behavioral model of relapse prevention. Chapters feature case studies, examples of intervention and self-help programs, reflection questions, and further readings. Appendices include versions of the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, the DAST-10 Drug Use Questionnaire, and the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.
