Reviews

“The book is intended for all healthcare professionals, specifically prescribers including physicians, nurse practitioners, advanced practice nurses, and residents who treat patients with acute and chronic pain. It is also appropriate for nonprescribers and trainees in healthcare settings managing these patient populations. … This book covers the increasingly problematic opiate abuse problem from an epidemiological perspective.” (Michael Easton, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2018) “This is quite of an intro into mind puzzling theme as opioid dependence which caught attention of all medical professionals prescribing opioid medications. … I would like to conclude that authors gave great insight into scientificviews of opioid dependence and medication assisted therapy but emphasized that it requires much more than this for accomplishing recovery from opioid dependence.” (Marijana Batković, Alcoholism and Psychiatry Research, Vol. 53 (2). 2017)
