Substance Use Disorders in Adolescents and Young Adults: A Manual for Pediatric and Primary Care Clinicians, Third Edition includes fourteen Chapters that focus on substance use disorders (SUDs), including the use of hallucinogenic and euphoria-inducing plants, ale and wine, tobacco, cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine. The Editors are cognizant that all in the field have been affected by SUDs whether with ourselves, families, friends, colleagues, patients and/or others in the global society. They believe that all must work together to seek further understanding and some sense of progress regarding this complex conundrum in the 21st century, while expanding on specific, timely concerns, such as changing drug laws, various treatment options, and the neural biology of addiction.
