Abstract: |
The guideline evaluates and makes recommendations for the use of psychosocial interventions for drug misuse in adults and young people. The first three chapters provide a summary of the clinical practice and research recommendations, a general introduction to guidelines and an introduction to the drug misuse topic. The fourth chapter provides a summary of the methods used to develop the recommendations and in Chapter 5 there is an overview of service user involvement and experience and impact of drug misuse on carers. Chapters 6 to 9 provide the evidence that underpins the recommendations, covering: identification and recognition of drug misuse; brief interventions and reduction of injection and sexual risk behaviours; psychological interventions; and residential, prison and inpatient care. The guideline covers the care provided by the primary, community, secondary, tertiary and other healthcare professionals working with adults and young people who misuse drugs. It is also relevant to those in occupational health services, social services and the independent sector. |
