Reviews
This succinct, well-organized book covers the relevant issues clinicians may need to address in treating patients for opiate withdrawal. It can be very useful for all healthcare providers involved in the clinical treatment of this patient population. Michael Easton, MD - Rush University Medical Center (Doody Review, August 09) What the present book usefully adds to its predecessors are clinical guidelines for the use of opioid pharmacotherapies and a discussion of the cost-effectiveness of opioid therapies, helping the reader to make some assessment of the relative inexpensiveness of these therapies compared to other interventions and treatments in other settings. I can see this will be a valuable book for clinicians and researchers who need a quick but reassuringly balanced and informed entry into the now extensive research supporting opioid prescribing. Busy policymakers may also find much of use in the book, if they have the time and the open mind to read it.
