Reviews

The American Opioid Epidemic is an outstanding effort by clinician experts to inform clinicians about the utility of and how to organize the evaluation and treatment of patients with OUDs. It is much better than most multi-authored texts in terms of its organization and overall reader friendliness, and I am glad to have it in my library.
