With contributions from leading international academics across the biological sciences, this handbook takes a critical look at the key contemporary issues and debates in the field. The 31 chapters are divided into four parts:
Part I Determination of Substance Misuse
Part II PK and PD in Relation to Patterns of Use
Part III Detection and Treatment of Drug and Alcohol Use
Part IV Controversies and New Approaches
This Handbook is an excellent reference text for the growing number of academics, students, scientists and practitioners in the drug and alcohol studies community, and will be a vital resource to the allied professions involved in work-place drug testing, clinical toxicology, and forensic science.
