Management of alcohol-and drug-related issues in the workplace. Problems relating to alcohol and drug use may arise from personal, family or social factors, or from certain work situations, or from a combination of these elements. Such problems not only have an adverse effect on the health and well-being of workers but may also cause difficulties at work, including a deterioration in job performance. While the elimination of substance abuse is a highly desirable goal, experience has shown the difficulty of achieving this. The practical recommendations contained in this book are intended to provide guidance to all those who have responsibility for addressing alcohol-and drug-related issues at the workplace. Geneva, 1996. 61 pp. ISBN 92-2-109455-3. SFR15; US$18; UK£10.80. Translation: French, Spanish and Finnish.

Addiction rehabilitation: Principles of effective programming for developing nations. Ch'ien, J.; Zackon, F. This publication is concerned with rehabilitation in developing countries, where extensive programmes are needed but resources are limited. Planners and service providers must study the work and ideas of others, analyse and decide what may work in their own cultures and adapt what is valuable in meeting their own needs. This book is intended as a tool for these tasks. Reflecting the orientation of the International Labour Organization, the concentration is on the vocational and social reintegration of ex-addicts including problems of employment as well as other issues that impinge directly upon maintaining abstinence following discharge from rehabilitation programmes.
