The book is organised into four main parts:BLthe first part sets the context for drug use, including historical aspects, aetiology, assessment, and general treatment considerationsBLthe second part provides details of drugs used, their pharmacology, epidemiology, and specific ways of assessing and treating the problems arising from misuse of each drugBLthe third part applies the knowledge gained so far by closely examining specific populations in which drug and alcohol issues are especially problematicBLthe last part is a concise review of specific issues that arise during clinical practice, including aspects of safe prescribing and clinical practiceThe book presents scholarly information in an understandable and readable format by Australian and New Zealand experts in the field and combines theory and clinical practice.

Case histories are used to illustrate important clinical issues, and key practice points and further reading help to guide readers. The Management of Alcohol and Other Problems is written for medical practitioners in training, but is also intended as an evidence-based reference text for medical staff of all levels of experience.
