Fifteen addiction psychiatrists have contributed to this volume, bringing their clinical experience to bear for readers that include mental health and primary care clinicians. Introductory chapters provide a necessary framework, offering an overview of substance use disorders (SUDs); general approaches to history taking, guidelines for making a medical and a psychiatric evaluation and forming a diagnosis; and a discussion of the neurobiology of addiction.

In the subsequent chapters, the volume delves into maintenance pharmacological treatment for co-occurring substances that include:

Alcohol Opioids Psychostimulants Novel psychoactive substances

Uniquely, this guide also discusses psychopharmacological approaches to working with special patient populations—adolescents, LGBTQ+ individuals, and pregnant people among them.

Filled with tables for ease of reference both when diagnosing and treating patients, and bolstered by evidence-based, actionable information, Pharmacotherapy for Complex Substance Use Disorders: A Practical Guide sets itself apart as an indispensable resource for all providers aiding individuals on their journeys of recovery.
