Reviews / Votes
"This deftly sequenced collection by brilliant authors crosses new frontiers. The promise of recovery capital theory and community practice for recovery is richly developed. This book is an indispensable reference for scholars of addictions and of macro problems that demand development of community recovery capital.''
