Description

Beating the Dragon: The Recovery from Dependent Drug Use by James Macintosh and Neil P. McKeganey is a comprehensive exploration of the complex issue of drug dependence. This book challenges common perceptions of addiction, arguing that many dependent drug users can overcome their dependence with or without professional help. The authors examine the nature of addiction, highlighting the diversity of experiences among those who use illicit drugs. They also discuss the ways in which societal attitudes towards drug use can influence an individual's likelihood of becoming addicted and their prospects for recovery. Suitable for students studying sociology, law, cultural studies, and psychology, as well as professionals such as nurses and social workers, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the recovery process from dependent drug use.
