Treating Addicts: What They Didn't Teach You in School

By Clint and Roxanne Crawford

Every day in America people die from drug overdoses. Over the years the number of overdose deaths has steadily increased more and more with there appearing to be no end in sight. With addiction treatment centers found in every state one would think this could somehow help stem the flow. However, this is not the case. The numbers do not lie. Why? The authors of this book believe a large part of this problem has to do with the fact that therapists and treatment teams as a whole are often not sufficiently trained to adequately address addiction. The sad truth, is that despite many universities having social work and counseling programs, they usually only address addiction and how to treat addicts struggling with a deadly disease at a cursory level. Repeated conversations with treatment professionals across the country, who state a need for materials to help train therapists entering the field of addiction, birthed this book. The authors hope it helps, in some small way, in the fight to help those suffering from addiction to find recovery.
