The rampant abuse of prescription drugs explained!
I found this book excellent for coping and understanding my co-worker's abuse and addiction to prescription drugs. The book sheds light on a serious drug problem that has received way too little public attention. The author provides good insight on how individuals can become hooked on prescription drugs and begin the downward cycle of addiction. I recommend it highly!

Fabulous resource for anyone dealing with this problem
This book is a must for anyone coping with prescription drug abuse in the family. As Rod Colvin points out, this type of addiction is a hidden problem in the U.S., yet it is so destructive to so many people. Unfortunately, the news media doesn't give it nearly the attention it deserves. This book provides a lot of good information and a lot of answers.

Communicates to the reader in plain English
This book explains addiction in real life terms...no fancy medical terminology or diagnosis. The author opens with his own personal story regarding the loss of his brother to perscription drug addiction. The book is also full of other personal stories which reveal the horrors not only endured by the addict, but by the addicts family, friends, and co-workers. This book is a must for anyone who is an addict, or for anyone who's life is being affected by one. Similar Products
