Social Work With Drug And Substance Misusers (Transforming Social Work Practice) - Softcover
Written specifically for social work students and practitioners, this book covers all aspects of working with drug and substance misusers. It looks at the history and changes in UK policy on substance misuse and highlights the differences between working with youth and adult substance misusers. There have been numerous UK initiatives, government statements, and legislative changes in recent years which are carefully outlined to guide the reader through the complexity of the field of substance misuse. Treatment approaches are explained in a user-friendly manner. These approaches are also linked to discussions on why people take drugs, the policy implications of harm reduction, and abstinence. The reader will find clear guidance on how to engage with the client groups, what approaches work, and what approaches do not.
