"The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM)'s Principles of Addiction Medicine is the go-to resource for treatment of addiction, providing a thorough grounding in scientific research and best practices for treating patients with addictive disorders. The book covers the spectrum of addiction medicine, including pharmacologic treatment, management of withdrawal, behavioral interventions, complications, and co-occurring psychiatric disorders (eg, opioid addiction and depression).The proposed 7th edition will be a thorough update to make sure this title continues to reflect the most current research and best practices for clinical settings. The table of contents will remain largely the same with just a handful of new chapters and the expected trimming across the entire text to remove no outdated material. The table of contents is still in flux as the final associate editors are still being recruited and our EIC wants to give them a chance to weigh in before our plans are finalized. In addition to a general content update, the 7th Edition will feature a new four-color design that will make the text easier to navigate and visually engaging. I've also included ample budget to accommodate enhanced functionality in the bundled vitalsource ebook, which the editors and ASAM currently are considering"-- Provided by publisher.
