Abstract: The risk factors and consequences of substance use disorders (SUDs) have become even more prominent with the opioid crisis in the United States. Given our greater awareness of the links between SUDs and other mental illnesses, psychiatry and medicine have been developing new, less moralistic approaches to treat SUDs. Meanwhile, patients continue to run up against a legal system that can be morally inflexible. Clinicians must promote the best treatment for their patients while also being aware of consequences in the legal realm. That's what makes Addiction and the Law such a necessary resource. This new book examines the many intersections between SUDs and the law.."arrest, incarceration, and employment among them.."helping readers navigate the overlap between the medical management of addictive disorders and the current legal framework. This guide features key points at the end of each chapter and tables throughout that help readers quickly access its evidence-based information. Readers will achieve a better understanding of the legal and regulatory issues that may affect their practice and be better positioned to more effectively assist their patients.
