Crack and Ice

Written by experts in the medical and addiction-treatment professions, Crack and Ice gives today's clinicians one of the most comprehensive examinations of these two smokable stimulants and the most effective ways to treat patients with drug addictions. You'll gain invaluable insight into the historical and social contexts of cocaine and methamphetamine, and how these have inflenced use, abuse, and treatment methods today. Tables, charts, and graphs combine with easy-to-comprehend text to give you the answers to key issues such as: * Pharmacology of cocaine and methamphetamine What is the ultimate goal for pharmacological and psychosocial treatment of cocaine addiction? * Medical Complications What do you need to know to most effectively counsel clients about the risks of drug use and to make appropriate referrals? * Psychiatric Complications Why is psychopathology a widespread issue among stimulant abusers and why is it critical for you to be aware of its role during treatment? * Treatment Modalities Is there one modality that works best for stimulant abusers? What is the first action that clinicians need to take? * Paths to Abstinence Which is more difficult for stimulant addicts: to stop using or to stay abstinent? --- from book's back cover
