Synopsis
According to statistics compiled by the U.S. Department of Labor, substance abuse has a significant impact in the workplace, with costs estimated at over $100 billion annually. In addition, a study conducted by the Institute for Health Policy, Brandeis University, found substance abuse to be the number one health problem in the country, resulting in more deaths, illnesses, and disabilities than any other preventable health condition.
Drug Abuse Sourcebook presents information about specific drugs of abuse, including depressants, hallucinogens, inhalants, marijuana, narcotics, stimulants, and anabolic steroids. It explains the nature of addiction, describes related health risks, and provides information about various treatment strategies and drug abuse prevention issues. A glossary, a dictionary of street names for illicit drugs, a listing of hotline services, and a directory of organizations are also included.
