Treatment of Volatile Solvent Abusers

Abstract

The need for knowledge about solvent use treatment is reflected in the frequent appeals for information received from drug use treatment programs. Most treatment programs are not equipped to deal with the problems of solvent users. Adding to the difficulty is the lack of even a rudimentary treatment model. While treatment of solvent use has some overlap with drug use treatment in general, approaches used in most treatment programs do not address the unique issues related to solvent use treatment.
