About this ebook
Substance Abuse and Addiction Counselling is a timely and essential resource for social workers, counsellors, and mental health professionals working on the front lines of the addiction crisis. With the rise in opioid overdoses, alcohol dependency, prescription drug misuse, and behavioural addictions, today’s practitioners must be equipped with comprehensive, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive strategies.
This book offers a deep dive into the causes, consequences, and treatments of addiction while centring the unique role social work plays in prevention, recovery, advocacy, and systems change. Covering real-world case scenarios, evidence-based therapies, ethical dilemmas, and policy implications, this book bridges clinical insight with community-based action.
Written in accessible language and grounded in practical experience, this guide is ideal for students, educators, field workers, and anyone committed to holistic, person-centred care in addiction recovery.
