Abstract: This book examines the special issues involved in the etiology, treatment, and prevention of alcoholism and other types of substance abuse among specific populations. Contributors have carefully reviewed the existing literature on a specific population in order to include the most current substance abuse information on that population. Chapters include demographic information, substance abuse rates, and kinds of substances abused by a specific population. Populations examined include: women, the dual-diagnoisis patient, the disabled, the elderly, blacks, physicians, adult children of alcoholics, gay and lesbians, hispanics, adolescents, native Americans, indigents, professional athletes, and military personnel. This book is intended to help development programs for specific populations that will be effective in the elimination of substance abuse problems.
In this congressionally mandated study, an expert committee of the Institute of Medicine takes a close look at where treatment for people with alcohol problems seems to be headed, and provides its best advice on how to get there. Careful consideration is given to how the creative growth of treatment can best be encouraged while keeping costs within reasonable limits. Particular attention is devoted to the importance of developing therapeutic approaches that are sensitive to the special needs of the many diverse groups represented among those who have developed problems related to their use of "man's oldest friend and oldest enemy." This book is the most comprehensive examination of alcohol treatment to date.
