Drug Abuse

By Tracey J. Moosa and Bruce Edelfield

This book offers a frank, clear-eyed, no-holds-barred examination of drug abuse--from the most commonly abused drugs to how drug abuse begins and progresses to the dangerous and deadly consequences of drug abuse. It also charts the treacherous path by which casual drug use develops into addiction. Loaded with great questions to ask a drug counselor, common myths and facts about drug use and abuse, and resources for getting help for oneself or loved ones, this book is a potentially lifesaving aid and wakeup call for teens in peril, especially those who don't yet realize they're in peril.
