Customer Reviews

Substance abuse counseling book has substance

This book is informative and well written... for substance abuse classes for vocational rehabilitation counselors, this book is a good text... it introduces some good discussion questions and covers the subject in depth, but also easy to read... the medical/biology chapter was tough going but that is more related to the subject matter rather than how it is presented.
