Synopsis

This text emphsasizes the human cost of the abuse of alcohol and other drugs. It covers intervention, prevention, and treatment of drug addiction, with an emphasis on the family as the arena in which drug abuse takes place, whilst exploring the causes and treatment of drug abuse in society. There is a structured perspective on the use and abuse of drugs provided by exploring the dynamics and impact of dysfunctional or imbalanced family systems on the individual drug user. There is also a focus on the factors surrounding an individual's decision to use drugs, and the impact of that decision on the family and community.
