Marshall, Brenda, 1951- author; Spencer, Jack (Psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner), author

This greatly needed resource is the first to provide evidence-based information and strategies for APRNs and PAs who work with individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs). Written in a concise, bulleted style for easy access to critical information, this reference addresses often-undiagnosed medical and psychiatric conditions that may accompany SUDs and the ethical consideration of working with affected patients and families. This resource distills key information about SUDs. It discusses how to identify SUDs, signs and symptoms, emergency response, and specific disorders. Also addressed is the use of pharmacology to treat SUDs, including complementary and alternative medicines, person-centered care for individuals with SUDs across the lifespan, and how to care for afflicted individuals in a variety of settings. -- From publisher's description
