PRAISE FOR Substance Abuse Treatment for Youth and Adults

"David Springer and Allen Rubin have compiled a valuable practice guide for any professional who works with substance-abusing youth or adults. This is a volume that should be on every practitioner's bookshelf!"
--C. Aaron McNeece Dean and Walter W. Hudson Professor (Emeritus) College of Social Work, Florida State University

"A major stumbling block to adoption of evidence-based practice in the real world of clinical practice has been the absence of clinician-friendly guides. Such guides need to be understandable, free of technical research jargon, infused with clinical expertise, and rich with real-life examples. Rubin and Springer have hit a home-run with this series, which has all of these characteristics and more."
--Edward J. Mullen Willma & Albert Musher Chair and Professor, Columbia University
