This enlightening, educating book about cocaine dependence and recovery strongly encourages and promotes change; it thoroughly discusses both the addiction and recovery process, including the history of cocaine use, the various methods of use, effects on both the mind and body, the vicious addiction cycle, detoxification, craving patterns, mood swings, relapse prevention and long-term therapy. This book addresses both the addict and the professional, including physicians, psychologists, social workers and addiction therapists. It is accompanied by The Cocaine Recovery Workbook, a collection of exercises appropriate for addicts throughout their first two years of recovery.
