The Routledge Handbook of Social Work and Addictive Behaviors is a definitive resource about addictive behaviors, emphasizing substance misuse, gambling, and problematic technology use. Contents address their prevalence in various communities and populations globally, theories related to their origins and etiology, and what is currently known about effective intervention strategies, education, and research.

- Interventions to prevent and address addictive behavior and related problems
- Issues frequently co-occurring with addictive behavior
- Moving forward
