• Alcohol & Other Drugs Handbook
  "This Handbook has been produced with a very broad target audience in mind. Largely it will cater for the professional alcohol and other drugs needs of non-specialist medical practitioners and nurses. But it is also designed to be a useful practical tool for a wide range of other health and human services workers including psychologists, social workers and counsellors. We also envisage that it will be of value and interest to groups such as teachers, community workers and those with wider roles such as health promotion".
