Question by Breezy: Do you know of any free ebooks about drugs, drug and alcohol treatment, alcoholism,?
I need read a book and do a review for a class about life, society and drugs. I would like an e-book so I can read it anywhere. I could also read one that costs no more than $ 10.
Have you read any good books that talk about drugs, or drug use or abuse?

Best answer:

Answer by WV_Nomad
I use to work at a treatment facility. There is a wide range of infomation on that topic and what is the best treatment. You could always a and AA/NA book to understand the addiction or go to an open meeting. There are many programs that doesn’t agree with AA/NA, due to reasons, and a major one would be that AA/NA views the addiction as a disease, and the religious views addiction as a behavior. A lot of college book stores has books on that topic and if their used it would be cheaper to buy. A good book, but hard to understand because it’s a Masters degree level, but it does give different views about alcoholism “Alcoholism and the Family….A Guide to Treatment and Prevention”…by Ann Lawson and Gary Lawson. If you decide to get it, try reading through it a little, cause there are big words in it that could make the book boring.
