Addiction medicine is an essential part of clinical practice. Although substance use is still widely regarded as a matter of free will, both its onset and the risk of progression to harmful use and addiction are shaped by a complex interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors. Substance use disorders are common, and almost every health professional will encounter patients affected by them. Their consequences extend well beyond the individual patient into society at large.
The Handbook of Addiction Medicine brings medical knowledge, clinical expertise, and multidisciplinary collaboration together in a single, practice-oriented reference. Grounded in current evidence-based guidelines, the DSM-5-TR, and recent literature, it covers the full breadth of the field—from acute intoxication and detoxification through long-term treatment and recovery support—with attention to both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, as well as somatic and psychiatric comorbidities.
The twenty-seven chapters are organized in four parts: general principles, including recovery-oriented and palliative care; disorders involving specific substances; behavioral addictions; and care for specific populations, such as older adults, people with mild intellectual disability, and patients in forensic settings. The chapters follow a uniform structure, highlight points of attention, and conclude with key learning points, allowing essential guidance to be located at a glance.
This English edition of a Dutch standard work has been thoroughly revised and adapted for an international readership. It is intended for physicians, medical students, nurses, nurse practitioners, psychologists, and any other health professionals working in or alongside addiction medicine. Its clear structure makes it equally suitable as a quick reference, a teaching resource, and a practical companion in daily clinical practice.
