DESCRIPTION:
"A text of relevance" according to ucheyah. I consider 'Addiction Treatment: theory and practice' by Sandra Rasmussen to be of high relevance in the study, understanding, and treatment of addiction because the text contains informations that a serious student, a counselor, a college instructor, or a practicing professional in the field of addiction should know. The text describes origins, behaviors, effects, prevention, and intervention, and various programs devised for different types of addiction. The text is quite exhaustive in defining technical terms and various types of drugs and chemical substances applied in the field of learning by science comm. school book I bought this book for a college course on addiction a recovery, It iss a good book, I would recommend it to everyone, even people who are not taking a class but need the education. It is very straight forward and an easy read.. crys said Received book fast and in good shape. I received my book very fast and it came just as described. I loved that it came faster then I thought.
