Les conduites addictives sont devenues un enjeu de santé majeur en termes de prévention et de soins. Les addictions concernent des substances légales, des produits illicites et des comportements. Un regroupement des pratiques, des moyens et des lieux de soins s’est opéré autour de l’addiction elle-même. Ainsi l’addictologie s’est constituée en discipline nouvelle s’intéressant à l’ensemble des aspects cliniques, biologiques, socioculturels et thérapeutiques des conduites addictives. Cette troisième édition enrichie, qui réunit les plus grands spécialistes de l’addictologie, illustre ces avancées par son approche globale. Les données épidémiologiques sont mises à jour, de nouveaux modes de traitements sont exposés, notamment dans les deux chapitres consacrés à la pharmacologie des troubles de l’usage d’alcool et à l’évolution des classifications diagnostiques en addictologie. L’ouvrage se divise ainsi : ➜ Généralités et problématiques transversales autour de l’addiction ➜ Les conduites addictives selon les produits ➜ Prévention-évaluatio... en addictologie ➜ Description des prises en charge
