Heroin is a worldwide scourge and a seemingly intractable one. The
Life of the Heroin User: Typical Beginnings, Trajectories and
Outcomes is the first book to apply a biographical approach to the
lifecycle of the heroin user from birth until death. Chapters
address each stage of the user's life, including childhood, routes
to use, the development of dependence, problems arising from
addiction, death and options for treatment and prevention. Drawing
on over two decades of experience in the field of opiate research,
Shane Darke examines major theoretical approaches to the
development of opiate dependence and the efficacy of treatment
options for opiate dependence. Key points are presented at the end
of each chapter. The most detailed review available of what is
likely to happen to the dependent heroin user, this is an important
book for clinicians, researchers and students in the fields of drug
and alcohol studies and public health.
