The Oxford Handbook of Opioids and Opioid Use Disorder synthesizes research across the spectrum and establishes a foundational knowledge regarding historical and current epidemiological trends, neurobiological and genetic contributors to opioid effects and opioid use disorder (OUD), and core elements of opioid use such as withdrawal and craving. It also provides specific information and guidance regarding opioid treatment paradigms. This handbook will serve as a comprehensive guide for practitioners, policymakers, students, and researchers who wish to achieve a better understanding of the complex world of opioid and OUD practice and science.
