Treating Addiction: A Guide for Professionals First Edition

This book was helpful for one of my college classes. Had a lot of interesting facts.

THIS BOOK IS SO GREAT!!! I had to purchase it for a class & I absolutely LOVE it. It's easy to read & very detailed, but not boring or too overwhelming. I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone seeking to learn about addiction & what we can do to help those who struggle with it.

One of my biggest fears when reading textbooks is the text would be drier than the Sahara desert. I'm so glad this book isn't one of them.I rented this book for one of my classes, and I must say, it's informative and actually interesting to read. It offers new perspectives on treating SUD and easy to follow along. I like it so much that I'm actually considering buying it (when I'm back to the labor force and actually earning money again. Don't blame a grad student for being broke).

Love this book! It is written simply and it's easy to follow. Most text books are lengthy and wordy - this book is not. I learned so much and enjoyed reading it. It's not written just for counseling students but for everyone. Highly recommend for students, teens, parents, and anyone working with or experiencing those who have an addiction.

This is the ultimate, up to date text for all addictions professionals. I was fortunate to begin using this book right after it was published for teaching my classes in Substance abuse, and use it as a reference point for information and where to find additional information. This is one of the best books I've found in my 20 years as an addictions professional.

This book is difficult and complicated maybe because of the instructor I had this course was boring for me

This book was a nice change from most college textbooks that I have read. I'm not sure that it can even be considered a textbook, but we used it for our class. There are nice examples of documents that are useful for counseling individuals with a variety of issues.

This became may primary source for my Master's class on Substance Use Counseling. Great information and the chapters are broken down into quick reference bites, making it easy to find information.
