Produktbeschreibung
All over the United States, communities big and small are struggling to fight the opioid epidemic. The news about the current drug crisis, which is mostly fueled by opioids, includes grim stories about a sharp rise in overdose deaths. Social workers are on the frontlines of this public health emergency. Many books address the causes of the opioid crisis as well as the clinical aspects, but this book offers a policy analysis. Dr. Ukockis has a unique perspective because she is both an academic and practitioner who has worked on the front lines of the opioid crisis by providing counseling in suboxone clinics to clients with opioid use disorder. Her real world practice experience ensures that the reader will become engaged in the policy discussions.
