Drug and alcohol addiction are critical social problems in the
United States. Drug and alcohol abuse are powerful facilitators of
health and economic disparities, making recovery and re-entry into
the community difficult. Alcohol and drug abuse/addiction are among
the costliest of health problems, totaling approximately $428
billion annually. A range of services have been developed to
address the problem of substance dependence, including inpatient
services, outpatient services, and recovery housing. However, only
about 11% of those with substance addictions reach any type of
substance abuse treatment, and those that are treated evidence high
rates of relapse. Thus, it is critical to understand the mechanisms
by which individuals are successful, and sustain abstinence after
receiving treatment and aftercare. This book provides a collection
of research that explores alternative models, aftercare programs,
employment services, trauma issues that affect recovery,
gender-specific, and culturally modified treatment and aftercare
programs. Each chapter is an individual study that addresses key
unanswered questions in substance abuse and recovery research.
Furthermore, the editors and authors identify potentially
important, understudied topics for further research and formulate
public policy recommendations. This is a must read for addiction
researchers, academics, students, and individuals interested in
learning about the dangers of substance abuse.
