Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

We are pleased that this work has inspired workers in the field to adapt the methodology and examine its impact on the care of patients.

Stanley KM, Amabile CM, Simpson KN, Couillard D, Norcross ED, Worrall CL. Impact of an alcohol withdrawal syndrome practice guideline on surgical patient outcomes. Pharmacotherapy. 2003 Jul;23(7):843-54. (Department of Therapeutic Services, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston 29425, USA.)

From the Inside Flap

The Alcohol Withdrawal Treatment Manual is the first book to rationalize the diagnosis and treatment of alcohol withdrawal. Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome (AWS) has long been misunderstood as a single condition, classified from mild to severe. In fact, it consists of three different symptom clusters, or "Types," each with its own physiological basis and each with its own preferred treatment agents.

Focusing on the symptom clusters that are present and treating them with specific agents greatly simplifies diagnosis and treatment. It also reduces complications, morbidity and mortality, and helps control costs.

The Alcohol Withdrawal Treatment Manual includes:

The AWS Type Indicator, a validated diagnostic scale which is simple to use and may be freely copied.

Detailed information on pharmacotherapy, including specific dosing regimens and comprehensive information on contraindications and adverse effects.

Coverage of common medical and surgical comorbidities and their interaction with AWS.

Advice on avoiding common treatment errors, including a list of therapeutic agents to be avoided.

A guide to quality assurance in AWS treatment settings, including utilization review and analysis of quality assurance data.

A thorough index and extensive cross references. More than 20 tables to put key information at your fingertips.
