A great teaching aid for any SW educator, Practice Assessor and PG student re: the current nature and scope of substance misuse practice issues and challenges.
Very basis in terms of exploring drug, alcohol and substance misuse, although there is brief reference to this. Was expecting a more in depth exploration of this, but the focus appeared to be more on the legislative and policy framework underpinning practice with this user group. Ofcourse this is equally important, therefore this book could be used to provide a foundation knowledge to those professionals beginning work in this area.
An excellent text book for social work and mental health nursing students.
This book will be helpful for all students and qualified social workers. It explains how substance misusers are supported, the relevant legislation and policy, also gives information about drugs commonly used. Well explained, easy to read and informative.
