Substance Use Disorder Treatment: Practical Application of Counseling Theory examines substance use disorder counseling through the lens of major counseling theories. It provides descriptions of counseling theory in action and demonstrates the application of various theories in real-world contexts.

Part I of the text reviews essential information related to substance use disorder treatment, including the models of substance use, ethical issues, assessment, and diagnosis.
