Book Description
Face aux drogues et aux addictions, il faut d’abord chercher les solutions pour réduire les risques et les dommages de leurs usages plutôt que de vouloir les éliminer à tout prix. Tel est le fondement de la « réduction des risques ». Une stratégie effi cace tant pour les personnes que pour la santé publique et la société tout entière. Cet ouvrage aborde pour la première fois la réduction des risques dans toutes ses dimensions, historique, conceptuelle, pratique et institutionnelle. Son objectif est de contribuer au développement des actions et des programmes, de soutenir les services et les innovations qui peuvent mieux aider les individus, mieux répondre aux besoins des populations, mieux sensibiliser et former les professionnels.

Book Description
Plus de 6 millions d'individus sont victimes d'addictions (drogues, alcool, tabac...) Si la consommation d'alcool, de tabac ou de cannabis baisse, dans le même temps les ivresses chez les jeunes sont de plus en plus brutales et intenses, la consommation de cocaïne grimpe... Contrôler l'usage et soigner les victimes ne suffit pas. Pour éviter que les prises de risque excessives ne se déplacent et que de nouvelles addictions n'apportent de nouveaux dommages, il faut se poser les questions des mesures éducatives et préventives. Comprendre et donner du sens pour agir: cet aide-mémoire présenté sous forme de 49 fiches regroupées en 5 thèmes se présente comme un outil indispensable à tout soignant pour y parvenir. Avec : Beauchet, Bonnaire, Bonnet, Chambon, Contat, Crouzet, Delorme, Fillit, Gira, Goutte, Lascaux, Lutz, Magnin, Meliava, Michel, Phan.

Book Description
This edited volume aims to facilitate the evolution of the new public health approach towards gambling. Bringing together the work of international experts, it gives a current overview of the field, highlighting the need for a coordinated framework of prevention and harm reduction measures to replace current "player protection" measures. Chapters begin by exploring the impact of problem gambling, looking at its effects on several levels, ranging from the individual to the family and society. Subsequently an overview of prevention and harm reduction models is presented, bringing the reader to an in-depth understanding of what a public health approach to gambling would entail. Later chapters focus on potential challenges to monitoring and evaluation, inviting the reader to envisage possible barriers towards implementation and ways of overcoming these. The book concludes with recommendations on how to take a harm reduction approach, from a political and human rights perspective. This work gives a rare synopsis of the present-day issues when considering the implementation of a harm reduction strategy for gambling. Recent work by key professionals is presented in order to encourage further developments in this ever-changing domain. Such issues will be relevant to all those with an interest in the field of problem gambling, from clinicians, students and healthcare professionals, to politicians.

Book Description
ADHD is a highly comorbid disorder in patients with substance use disorders (SUD). This comorbid patient population is, however, often undertreated. Diagnosing ADHD in patients with SUD is not easy due to the large overlap of the ADHD characteristics with symptoms of intoxication and withdrawal. These patients often disappear prematurely from the treatment services, on the one hand because their untreated ADHD symptoms make it more diffi cult to follow the therapy, on the other hand because the treatment programs do not take their limitations into account. Caregivers expressed a great need for concrete tools to work with these patients. Therefore, “Managing ADHD in the presence of substance use disorders” consists of a theoretical and a practical part. The different aspects of the treatment are described from various therapeutic perspectives, and elaborated in ten modules with downloadable worksheets. “This is a practical and insightful book that I highly recommend to both novice and experienced clinicians alike.” Frances R. Levin, MD PhD, Columbia University Medical Center/New York State Psychiatric Institute “For the fi rst time clinical and scientifi c knowledge is summarized and integrated in a handsome format. In addition, this book can be used by clinicians and patients in the context of psychoeducation and as a shared decision making aid.” Wim van den Brink, MD PhD, Professor of Psychiatry and Addiction, Academic Medical Centre, University of Amsterdam

Book Description
The Australian Guidelines for the Treatment of Alcohol Problems have been periodically developed over the past 25 years. In 1993, the first version of these guidelines, titled: ‘An outline for the management of alcohol problems: Quality assurance in the treatment of drug dependence project’ was published (Mattick & Jarvis 1993). The Australian Government commissioned an update a decade later (Shand et al. 2003) and a further edition in 2009 to integrate the Guidelines with the Australian Guidelines to Reduce Health Risks from Drinking Alcohol (National Health and Medical Research Council, NHMRC 2009; Haber et al., 2009). The present version of the Guidelines was also commissioned by the Commonwealth of Australia to remain current and integrated with the updated NHMRC consumption guidelines (2020). In order to ensure that guidelines remain relevant, the next set of guidelines should be updated in 2025, consistent with NHMRC recommendation that guidelines be updated every five years. These guidelines aim to provide up-to-date, evidence-based information to clinicians on available treatments for people with alcohol problems and are largely directed towards individual clinicians in practice, such as primary care physicians (general practitioners, nursing staff), specialist medical practitioners, psychologists and other counsellors, and other health professionals. Some chapters highlight service or system level issues that impact on clinicians and their patients. These include recommendations concerning Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, culturally and linguistically diverse groups, stigma, and discrimination. Elsewhere, organisation capacity is implied, such as medical resources for withdrawal management where recommendations indicate use of medications. As all forms of treatment will not be readily available or suitable for all populations or settings, these guidelines may require interpretation and adaptation.
