From inhalants and alcohol to synthetic drugs and opioids, Doweiko/Evans' CONCEPTS OF CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY, 11th EDITION, covers the explosion of information regarding the understanding, identification and treatment of substance use disorders. Author Amelia Evans, continuing Harold Doweiko's work on prior editions, also examines the use and misuse of tobacco, barbiturates, amphetamines, cocaine and hallucinogens, as well as substances frequently left out of other books -- such as aerosols, steroids and over-the-counter analgesics. One thing you won't find is a judgmental approach preaching that "drugs are bad for you." By studying the facts and concepts in this book, you get the information you need to understand relevant research related to misused substances and help your clients overcome substance use challenges.

Worst textbook ever
This is the worst textbook I have ever seen. There are grammatical errors, word errors (Green and Roman empire???) and the text doesn't match the figure shown. I would be embarrassed to be the author or publisher of this book.

get the right edition
it's a good book. Clearly written in plain English. But be careful. Any book about drug abuse that's 18 years old (as is the first edition of this book) is nearly USELESS. This book is now in its seventh edition and you'll need to be extra careful to avoid the older editions.
