A comprehensive overview and clinical guide for understanding substance use disorders. It systematically addresses the classification and definitions of drugs, misuse, dependence, and tolerance, incorporating frameworks like ICD-10 and DSM-IV. A significant portion of the material covers the epidemiology of drug abuse, detailing statistics on seizures, treatment data, and mortality in the UK and globally, alongside discussions of historical patterns of drug use. The remainder of the text is dedicated to clinical practice, including assessment methodologies, specific complications (such as psychiatric or infectious issues), and various treatment modalities, ranging from psychological therapies to pharmacological interventions and international control measures.
