Addiction can take many forms--misuse of drugs or alcohol, excessive gambling, eating disorders, exercise addiction, pyromania, kleptomania, and social media addiction, to name a few. In particular, the misuse of drugs and alcohol continues to be an area of ongoing concern for health officials, with the recent warnings about elevated cancer risks associated with alcohol consumption being just one example of the seriousness of the subject. Principles of Health: Addiction & Recovery provides a comprehensive and accessible resource for high school students, undergraduates, as well as general readers interested in learning more about the impact of addiction in all of its forms, warning signs, treatment options, and the means for rehabilitation.
