Screening, Assessment, and Treatment of Substance Use Disorders

Evidence-based practices, community and organizational setting in the era of integrated care

By: Lena Lundgren,Ivy Krull

There is a clear and pressing need for health professionals, including social workers, to be trained in evidence-based practices (EBPs) in the area of substance use disorders (SUD). The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and other national organizations and government agencies have all put out reports calling for this vital need, though there remains a significant shortage of properly trained clinicians. The aim of this book is to provide an integrated perspective on addiction treatment on the evidence-base of psychosocial and medication-assisted treatment for substance use disorder. The volume is unique in that it critically examines the evidence base of both psychosocial and pharmacological treatment practices targeting a profession of social work audience. It is also one of few that (1) incorporates evidence both from the United States and internationally, and (2) presents a methodology that permits the authors to systematically review a large number of empirically based studies in an organized and easy-to-read manner. Additionally, the text incorporates a health disparities perspective and describes implementation barriers at the organizational, community, and policy levels. It can be used in policy, human behavior, and clinical practice both nationally and internationally.

Digital Health Promotion

A Critical Introduction

By: Ivy O'Neil

Searching the internet for health information or using health apps on mobile devices has become part of our daily routine, yet can be just as disempowering as empowering. This engaging overview critically examines the theoretical underpinning of digital health promotion and the use of digital tools and strategies to promote health. Ivy O’Neil investigates how modern technologies can enhance health services provision and increase the accessibility and efficiency of health communication and promotion. She also looks at the challenges they bring to the social model of health, as they often focus on the individual and neglect the many social, environmental and economic determinants of health. Digital technologies, O’Neil argues, can have negative as well as positive implications and may be contributing to the ever-widening health inequality gap, thereby failing to be compatible with health promotion principles and values. Offering a critical, practical and thoughtful overview of the application and usefulness of digital technology, this book will appeal to students of public health and health promotion, communication and policy.

Stop Raping Sally

By: Jim Ivy

Detective Jamie Bell has a problem; after she was forced to kill a madman during a shootout in a crowded bar she starts seeing things that arent there, namely a message, written everywhere she lookseven in her dreams. The message says, Stop Raping Sally. But who is Sally? And why cant anyone else see the message? The more Jamie learns about the man she killed, the more she thinks he might have something to do with the elusive Sally. According to his girlfriend, the madman kidnapped and sold a young girl just days before the shooting. Could this young girl be Sally? Another important question: is Jamie losing her mind? What other explanation could there be for the signs she sees, awake and asleep? Maybe being a detective is too much for novice Jamie Bell. Maybe shes not cut out for this line of work. Or maybe shes just the person to find Sally and save her life. Could the shooter be the one responsible for Sallys abuse? If so, how will Jamie find the young girl, now that her abductor is dead? Jamie may be a girls only hope if only she can face her own fears and take the law into her own hands.

Kill Without Mercy

By: Alexandra Ivy

A Texas covert ops specialist hunts down a serial killer in this romantic suspense series opener by the New York Times–bestselling author of Don’t Look. From the hellhole of a Taliban prison to sweet freedom, five brave military heroes have made it home—and they’re ready to take on the civilian missions no one else can. Individually they’re intimidating. Together they’re invincible. They’re the men of ARES Security. Rafe Vargas is only in Newton, Iowa, to clear out his late grandfather’s small house. As the covert ops specialist for ARES Security, he’s eager to get back to his new life in Texas. But when he crosses paths with Annie White, a haunted beauty with skeletons in her closet, he can’t just walk away—not when she’s clearly in danger . . . There’s a mysterious serial killer on the loose with a link to Annie’s dark past. And the closer he gets, the deeper Rafe’s instinct to protect kicks in. But even with his considerable skill, Annie’s courage, and his ARES buddies behind him, the slaying won’t stop. Now it’s only a matter of time before Annie’s next—unless they can unravel a history of deadly lies that won’t be buried. Praise for Kill Without Mercy “A fantastic blend of romance and suspense . . . thrilling to the end.” —Mary Burton, USA Today–bestselling author “Prolific Ivy . . . introduces an intimidatingly hot set of protagonists for her new contemporary romantic thriller series.” —Publishers Weekly “If you want an action packed, steamy and hard-hitting mystery with a number of unexpected twists, then pick up Kill Without Mercy and you will not be disappointed.” —Fresh Fiction
