Summary

ASAM's Patient Placement Criteria 2e Revised (2001, revised 2004) provides a framework for placing patients with addiction disorders into proper treatment settings, both outpatient and inpatient. This new publication focuses on patients with alcohol use disorders, using the ASAM criteria. Chapters address pharmacotherapies and behavioral therapies for alcohol withdrawal and for prevention and management of relapse. Case examples bolster understanding of the recommendations made. NOTE: ASAM's focus is toward internal medicine/family practice; LWW's titles in this area have traditionally been toward psychiatric approaches.
