· Are you a healthcare professional who feels ill-equipped to support your clients trapped in drug or alcohol addiction?
· Does the mention of your client's addiction cause you to immediately refer them on, never seeing them again?
· Do you want a compact, evidence-based resource guaranteed to give you confidence to support your clients to achieve freedom from addiction?
If you're a psychologist, social worker, nurse or counselor and you answered 'yes' to any of the above questions, this book is for you. In this unique, practical handbook, mental health nurse and addiction specialist Tania Kelly translates her clinical experience into an easy, how-to guide, designed to fit into your busy professional life.
Tania explains the 12 proven fundamentals of drug and alcohol treatment, to give you the confidence you need to successfully treat addiction. You'll also learn the principles of addiction and interventions, so you are fully equipped to support your client throughout their recovery journey. Set out in a way that allows you to revisit topics on demand when you need them the most, this book is the perfect desk-side companion in your practice.
So, are you ready to Keep Calm and Treat Addiction?
The first step in reducing stigma around alcohol and drug use is normalising conversations about our relationship with these substances. Tania has created a must-read guide for clinicians and service providers to assist in this process, packed full of techniques,strategies and practical guidance on how to work with clients wishing to address their alcohol or drug use. I recommend Keep Calm and Treat Addiction for anyone wanting to better understand evidence-based addiction
treatment philosophy.

Tania has written a very informative book on addiction and the associated behaviours incurred. The book is a
wonderful resource for AOD practitioners and also for people wanting further knowledge and understanding
in this field. It is clearly written, easy to understand and includes good examples throughout. Highly recommended.
