Britain, like almost everywhere else, has a burgeoning drug problem. Finding ways of dealing with this problem is a major platform of Government policy and a great deal has been made of the impact of treatment on drug users. 'Drug Treatment: What Works?' Is a cutting edge survey of the latest developments in these treatments, and it sets out to ask some of the crucial questions in the treatment of drug abusers; including:
* Which treatments work with what sorts of abusers?
* What are the key indicators of likely success?
* Does coercion work or must treatment be freely entered into?
* Is drug testing an essential backup for successful treatment?
Featuring contributions from some the leading figures in this field, 'Drug Treatment: What Works?' will be essential reading for students, academics and professionals studying drug treatment in the areas criminology, social policy and medicine.
