Suitable for 2nd and 3rd year students taking courses on drug
use/misuse principally in departments such as Sociology, Law,
Cultural and Media Studies, and Psychology. Also particularly
relevant for students taking courses leading to a profession, such
as nurses and social workers. The use of illegal drugs is
widespread in many societies. Within many western societies
particular concern has been focused on the nature and extent of
illegal drug use amongst young people. In much of the media
coverage an impression is often conveyed that the use of illegal
drugs other than cannabis is a one way street leading inevitably to
addiction, destitution, family breakdown and death. This impression
fails to grasp the fact that most drug users do not become addicts
and most addicts do not die. The perception of addiction as a fixed
end point characterised by personal and social dissolution fails to
recognise that many dependent drug users, even after a period of
prolonged dependent drug use, nevertheless still manage to overcome
their dependence upon illegal drugs. This process of recovery,
either with or without the assistance of helping agencies, has been
variously described by researchers, drug counsellors, clinicians
and others.
