This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a major public health problem in the United States. The estimated 12-month and lifetime prevalence values for AUD are 13.9% and 29.1%, respectively, with approximately half of individuals with lifetime AUD having a severe disorder. AUD and its sequelae also account for significant excess mortality and cost the United States more than $200 billion annually. Despite its high prevalence and numerous negative consequences, AUD remains undertreated. In fact, fewer than 1 in 10 individuals in the United States with a 12-month diagnosis of AUD receive any treatment. Nevertheless, effective and evidence-based interventions are available, and treatment is associated with reductions in the risk of relapse and AUD-associated mortality. The American Psychiatric Association Practice Guideline for the Pharmacological Treatment of Patients With Alcohol Use Disorder seeks to reduce these substantial psychosocial and public health consequences of AUD for millions of affected individuals. The guideline focuses specifically on evidence-based pharmacological treatments for AUD in outpatient settings and includes additional information on assessment and treatment planning, which are an integral part of using pharmacotherapy to treat AUD. In addition to reviewing the available evidence on the use of AUD pharmacotherapy, the guideline offers clear, concise, and actionable recommendation statements, each of which is given a rating that reflects the level of confidence that potential benefits of an intervention outweigh potential harms. The guideline provides guidance on implementing these recommendations into clinical practice, with the goal of improving quality of care and treatment outcomes of AUD.

Download or read book Intensive Outpatient Treatment for the Addictions written by Edward Gottheil and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1997-04-25 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intensive Outpatient Treatment for the Addictions provides descriptions, discussions, and the first outcome evaluations of the new intensive outpatient treatment modality. Giving you a general history and discussion of key principles; detailed descriptions of program procedures and follow-up data; a study of the characteristics of outcomes of early dropouts; and a comparison between intensive outpatient programs and traditional programs, this book will help government, HMO, and other substance abuse treatment planners and managers in designing the structure and services within their treatment delivery systems. Based on clinical observations and reports, intensive outpatient treatment approaches have quickly become common, even preferred, practice. This speedy acceptance occurred, however, without accompanying research evaluation and support. Intensive Outpatient Treatment for the Addictions provides the evaluation of results and the descriptions of principles and procedures you need to understand and conduct intensive outpatient treatment. Inside this resource you?ll find: a randomized controlled comparison of intensive outpatient treatment and individual counseling a comparison of the outcome of six intensive outpatient treatment and ten traditional programs an assessment of readiness for change stage in relation to improvement as measured by the Addiction Severity Index treatment evaluation methodology outcomes of substance abuse treatment Rather than question whether intensive outpatient treatment is better than traditional treatment, however, the important issue for further research is more likely to be which patients do better in which modalities. Intensive Outpatient Treatment for the Addictions allows you to help your patients by showing you how to design and provide the treatment delivery system that will be most effective.

Download or read book Reducing Underage Drinking written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-03-26 with total page 761 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alcohol use by young people is extremely dangerous - both to themselves and society at large. Underage alcohol use is associated with traffic fatalities, violence, unsafe sex, suicide, educational failure, and other problem behaviors that diminish the prospects of future success, as well as health risks â€" and the earlier teens start drinking, the greater the danger. Despite these serious concerns, the media continues to make drinking look attractive to youth, and it remains possible and even easy for teenagers to get access to alcohol. Why is this dangerous behavior so pervasive? What can be done to prevent it? What will work and who is responsible for making sure it happens? Reducing Underage Drinking addresses these questions and proposes a new way to combat underage alcohol use. It explores the ways in which may different individuals and groups contribute to the problem and how they can be enlisted to prevent it. Reducing Underage Drinking will serve as both a game plan and a call to arms for anyone with an investment in youth health and safety.
