Substance Use Disorders and Addictions

Keith Morgen authored Substance Use Disorders and Addictions, 2nd Edition, a primary textbook published by SAGE Publications, Inc. that prepares students for modern addiction counseling. The text establishes a clinical perspective by examining co-occurring psychiatric conditions as standard presentation rather than exceptions when evaluating substance use disorders and addictions.

The content aligns with professional preparation guidelines, incorporating 2024 CACREP and MPCAC Counseling Accreditation standards across its chapters. Learners review client assessment and level-of-care decisions through coverage of the 4th edition ASAM Placement Criteria.

To ground its clinical guidance in contemporary literature, the second edition references more than 300 new and recent scholarly sources. This updated foundation supports counseling education programs in preparing practitioners for complex client needs and structured treatment planning.
