Substance Abuse and Physical Disability

Until now, there was virtually no literature available on this dual problem of physical disability and substance abuse. Substance Abuse and Physical Disability brings together these topics to provide readers with the vital information necessary to understand the significant challenges, risks, and threats that substance abuse and chemical dependency pose for the physically disabled. This seminal book provides the materials needed by professionals to understand the context of substance abuse in the lives of persons with disabilities, identify chemical dependency problems, and implement effective treatment strategies. Covering an important but often overlooked area, this book enables rehabilitation professionals to treat their substance abusing clients more effectively.Heinemann, Allen W. is the author of 'Substance Abuse and Physical Disability', published 1993 under ISBN 9781560242901 and ISBN 1560242906.
