Programs for treating substance abuse should be built on a foundation of evidence-based knowledge. This, then, is a guide through the near-impossible amount of scientific literature, presenting the findings from more than 1,600 studies on the effectiveness of different treatments. Most of these use the DSM system, and the results are detailed in tables, which may be searched on the accompanying CD-ROM.

This is the most comprehensive scientific review of its kind for medical researchers, clinicians and doctors as well as healthcare providers and insurers, identifying ineffective treatments and highlighting cost-effective alternatives.

Egon Jonsson, PhD, Leader of the WHO Health Evidence Network, and former Director of SBU, is Professor of Health Economics at the Department of Medicine, Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. He is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, Institute of Medicine and, for 20 years, Co-editor of the International Journal of Technology Assessment in Health Care.
