Consistent information

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
The book provides very good and consistent information about addiction in general and not only to stimulant drugs.
I recommend it to everyone trying to have a first approach to the problem.
Nonetheless, the chapter related to how to choose a treatment is a bit confusing. More information about how to deal with white collar, upper class, users, would have been wellcome.

A Must Read
9 Jun 2009
Format:Hardcover
I just finished reading the new book, Cocaine & Methamphetamine Addiction: Treatment,Recovery and Relapse Prevention. I think this is an essential work for a number of reasons. First, it provides an excellent context - both historically and clinically, about the 2 stimulant drugs. Second, it gives the clinician a pragmatic and meaningful framework by which to develop treatment strategies specific to cocaine and meth addiction. Third, the book offers critically important information on the dynamics of families in recovery, an often missing aspect in other works on the treatment of addiction. This is an exceptional book and one that should be required reading for all those in the behavioral health care industry. Thanks for putting this information out.
