* What is addiction?* How do you know if someone is addicted?* Are
some people more prone to addiction than others?* Are some drugs
more addictive than others?* How can you help someone who doesn't
want help? Understanding Drugs of Abuse is designed to bring the
everyday reader face-to-face with drugs of abuse and addiction.
Through frank, no-nonsense explanations of the stimulants,
depressants, psychedelics, and inhalants, this accessible guide
will help the reader to understand how drugs of abuse affect
thinking, behavior, perceptions, and emotions. It also examines the
effects addiction has on the addict's family. Understanding Drugs
of Abuse demystifies the treatment process by explaining what types
of treatment are available, what actually happens during treatment,
and what patients and their families can expect during the
treatment process. The book also describes the recovery process and
will help people identify good recovery-as well as recognize poor
recovery and the warning signs of relapse. Perhaps most important,
Understanding Drugs of Abuse explains how friends and family can
intervene when someone they love does not want help. Because the
use of prescribed medications by people with substance use
disorders can be misunderstood or even be dangerous, this book
presents practical information about medications and recovery. It
also explores the unique problems of adolescents who are addicted,
as well as people with the dual disorders of a psychiatric and
substance use disorder. Understanding Drugs of Abuse will also help
the reader understand the role of genetics and other influences on
addiction to alcohol, the most widely abused drug of all.
