Cocaine, AIDS, and Intravenous Drug Use


Overview

In lay language, ""Cocaine, AIDS, and Intravenous Drug Use"" presents what works and what doesn't work in counselling drug dependent persons. Those in the substance abuse treatment field have been concerned in the last few years with combatting the deadly combination of cocaine addiction and AIDS. This book describes in detail, new methods being tested for effectively decreasing the risks for HIV infection of drug-dependent persons. ""Cocaine, AIDS, and intravenous drug use"" shows the harsh realities of the cycle of drug use and the spread of AIDS and fosters a realistic understanding of the choices facing treatment programmes and agencies. Helping to generate a research agenda for the 1990s, this book examines what has been successful in treatment and prevention and raises issues to promote greater research in the fields for improved treatment and prevention of drug abuse and HIV infection.
