This guide offers pediatricians a solid grounding in the core concepts of addiction medicine and prepares them to answer common questions, counsel patients and parents, and use medications and laboratory tests effectively.Organized by types of substance, each chapter offers clinical vignettes, an overview of each substance, clinical pearls, actionable advice, and clinical takeaways from each vignette.
