The issue of 'recovery' has been increasingly prioritised by policymakers in recent years, but the meaning of the concept remains ambiguous. This edited collection brings together the thoughts and experiences of researchers, practitioners and service users from the fields of health, addiction and criminal justice and centres on current developments in addiction policy and practice. Tackling Addiction examines what recovery, addiction and dependence really mean, not only to the professional involved in rehabilitation but also to each individual client, and how 'coerced treatment' fails to take account of recovery as a long-term and ongoing process. Chapters cover the influence of crime and public health in UK drug policy; the ongoing emphasis on substitute prescribing; the role of recovery groups and communities; and gendered differences in the recovery process and implications for responses aimed at supporting women. Tackling Addiction will be essential reading for practitioners, researchers, policy makers and students in the fields of addiction, social care, psychology and criminal justice.

Drugs and the workplace just don't mix. Yes, most users of illicit drugs are employed adults and there's a high correlation between levels of stress, income and alcohol abuse amongst professional and managerial employees. But the risks associated with drug use and abuse in the workplace have been well defined. Addiction at Work enables you to understand the background and extent of the problem: the cost of drug abuse to your organization; the role your own organizational culture may have in encouraging drug misuse; the risks associated with dangerous or stressful jobs. There are also chapters to help you understand the symptoms of drug abuse and the potential risks associated with perfectly legal prescription or over-the-counter medicines. The right kind of drug policy can be a significant weapon to fight this problem. So Addiction at Work explores your responsibility as an employer and how to design, communicate and implement a policy that is appropriate for your organization. Finally, there are chapters on the tools and techniques open to your organization for tackling the problem head on; ways of addressing problem behaviours; the advantages and disadvantages of drug screening and the ethics associated with this practice; employee assistance programmes and specialist care and, finally, the employment law issues around drugs. Addiction at Work has been written by some of the world-authorities on drug use in the workplace. It is an essential reference for organizations seeking a way through the human, ethical and legal issues (and the risk they present to any employer) of a social problem that is increasingly impacting employees whatever their work or the nature of their workplace.

Drugs are pervasive - pushed at school, at parties, in the street. Young people have to make choices about drugs as a fact of everyday life. Ideals, protest, demanding school work, the need for emotional intimacy, the natural desire to experiment, wanting to appear cool - all these factors can make drug taking seem attractive.

Dr. Peter Ferentzy, an addiction expert who has lived the life of a crack addict, reveals the ugly truth: the dominant approach to drug and alcohol addictions has hurt-and even killed-more people than it has helped. "Hitting bottom," "abstinence," and other buzzwords are often code for approaches that promote degradation, rape, and death-and on a scale that really amounts to genocide.

Table of Contents Introduction Work as an Emotional Substitute Sacrificing Family Time First Casualty – Marriage Economic Compulsions Effect on Health Social Obligations Tips for tackling workaholism Great Expectations Working Does Not Automatically Mean Workaholism Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Workaholism is a comparatively modern phenomenon. There has been a disturbing trend in a majority of people, growing addicted to work. Apart from this, affecting their general health, in the long run, it is also going to adversely affect their domestic happiness. This book is going to give you plenty of tips on how to recognize workaholism and how to manage it. Workaholism is some sort of obsession. In fact, there are a number of people I know, who begin to feel guilty, if they do not do one particular work at one given scheduled time. There is something wrong in the state of matter somewhere, if they are found enjoying themselves at a time, when they would usually be chained to a desk. And that is why they get stressed out, and spoil the enjoyment of everybody around them, because they are not at their desk, beavering away. If you are surprised at this, do not be. I come in that particular category. Since my 20s, I found myself getting upset, when I was not at my piles and miles and miles of files, doing a hard days’ work. I used to get annoyed, if somebody interrupted just to pass the time of the day. The seniors loved me, my peers kept contemplating justified pesticide because according to them, I was showing them up by pretending to be so dedicated and hard-working and earnest and all that jazz. It was also playing merry – pranks with my personal life, because I was missing out on important family occasions and obligations, because I was so busy working. I remember one of my friends just joking about a new fragrance for perfumes. Just add a little bit of the fragrance of dust from the file storage cabinet and an aroma of old files and papers, with a little bit of a woodsy smell reminiscent of an office desk. That would be a hit perfume for workaholics. So how do you recognize the fact that you are a workaholic? Are your feet tapping as you read these words, because you just want to get to your files? Do you have your cell phone, right on the table, ready to message you with some work or message from your office? Do you check your email, three times a day, every day, or even more, to see the status of what is going on in the office?

Integrated Approaches to Drug and Alcohol Problems: Action on Addiction provides a pathway through the field of addiction, giving a clear description of points along that path, from the beginning of problematic use of drugs and alcohol, to treatment, support, recovery and reintegration in society. The book illustrates the principle of integrated approaches to tackling the rise in problems with addiction. Practical applications of these approaches are demonstrated in the work of UK charity Action on Addiction, one organisation which has been influenced by, and contributed to, the research and practice of the authors. The interventions illustrated within Integrated Approaches to Drug and Alcohol Problems demonstrate how the findings of international research can be brought together to provide effective services for individuals, families and communities suffering from addiction-related problems. Some of the foremost internationally recognized addiction researchers, clinicians and trainers from the UK, USA and Canada have contributed chapters to this book. It will be of interest to all those working in the field of drug and alcohol addiction, including counsellors and therapists, as well as GPs, nurses and public health officers. Integrated Approaches to Drug and Alcohol Problems will also have general appeal to anyone studying Psychology and Mental Health courses at undergraduate or postgraduate level, plus those affected by addiction.

Through the vivid, true stories of five people who journeyed into and out of addiction, a renowned neuroscientist explains why the "disease model" of addiction is wrong and illuminates the path to recovery. The psychiatric establishment and rehab industry in the Western world have branded addiction a brain disease. But in The Biology of Desire, cognitive neuroscientist and former addict Marc Lewis makes a convincing case that addiction is not a disease, and shows why the disease model has become an obstacle to healing. Lewis reveals addiction as an unintended consequence of the brain doing what it's supposed to do-seek pleasure and relief-in a world that's not cooperating. As a result, most treatment based on the disease model fails. Lewis shows how treatment can be retooled to achieve lasting recovery. This is enlightening and optimistic reading for anyone who has wrestled with addiction either personally or professionally.
