Alcohol Withdrawal Treatment Manual

Summary: Finally!
Review: Finally A comprehensive well written approach to the treatment of alcohol withdrawal syndrome! After several years working in the alcoholism treatment field, and having read many works aimed at increasing awareness, the Alcohol Withdrawal Treatment Manual is a breath of fresh air! Most publications to date have proven to be retreads of out-dated treatment stratagies. This work however has taken a bold new approach. Their AWS Typology has clearly defined how to treat the distinctly different symptoms related to alcohol withdrawal. They also have developed a tool to assess and monitor symptoms that seems to be incredibly accurate and easy to use. This is a major change from the tools that have previously been used. This was one of the most enlightning works i've read on the subject in many years. It is a MUST read for medical students, nurses, and counselors. If you work in the field of addiction this will be a welcome addition to your library.
