The Library Journal states, "...[T]his is one book that addresses solutions....And it's enjoyably readable....This is an excellent review for anyone in the alcoholism prevention business, and good background reading for the interested layperson." The Washington Post agrees: the book "...likely will wind up on the bookshelves of counselors, politicians, judges, medical professionals, and law enforcement officials throughout the country."

Evidence is mounting that worker substance abuse may have its greatest impact on productivity losses including increased absenteeism and short-term disability, higher turnover, and suboptimal performance at work. Full-time workers that reported using illicit drugs or abusing prescribed drugs were more likely to report missing two or more workdays in the past month due to illness or injury and were more likely to have skipped one or more days of work in the past month. But what does one do to address this situation? The response is simple if a worker presents himself acutely intoxicated, but how does one handle off duty or chronic use of potentially impairing substances that may or may not affect job performance and safety? This work reviews the regulatory issues surrounding substance use in the workplace as well as drug and alcohol testing. The text examines the main substances of concern and discusses the literature related to disease based and patient based research considering workplace safety. The monograph ends by describing the evaluation of potentially impaired employees and how to gain objective evidence of their ability to function safely and also how to direct troubled employees toward helpful programs.

Book excerpt: It has long been recognised that clients with addiction problems need a skilled and thoughtful response when they come into contact with social services. However, students often find that policy and the law surrounding working with drug, alcohol and substance misusers can be complex and often unclear. This fully-revised third edition will help students cultivate the skills required to work effectively with clients and service users who misuse drugs and alcohol. There are clear introductions to the law and to social policy in this area, while the author considers how a holistic approach can be effective when working with this particular client group. Case studies and reflective exercises are used to draw out these key skills. The book also features sections on anti-oppressive practice with a focus on service user empowerment. With this third edition comes new material on social work practice with alcohol misusers, making this book even more essential reading for students and practitioners who want to engage with clients who struggle with addiction.
