Text, Sprache: Englisch, Ross Fishman, Part of a series entitled "Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Drugs", this book sets out to inform the reader about drugs and their use., As many as one in twenty adults are alcoholic and as mach as half of all the work of hospital casualty departments may involve alcohol-related accidents or illnesses. Despite its pleasurable effects when used prudently, alcohol is too offen an agent of misery and tragedy. Treatment for alcoholism involves a difficult, lifelong struggle for those willing to tackle the problem. For millions of alcoholics, grief, sickness, guilt and shortened lives are common. What are the different types of treatment available and how effective are they? With teenage drinking again on the rise, it is imperative that young adults be made aware of the tremendous potential for abuse of this alluring and dangerous drug. The encyclopedia of psychoactive drugs answers the questions that young people are likely to ask about drugs, as well as those they might not think to ask, but should. Topics include: what it means to be intoxicated; how drugs affect mood; why people take drugs; who takes them; when they take them; and how much they take. They will leam what happens to a drug when it enters the body. They will leam what it means to get "hooked" and how it happens. They will leam how drugs affect their driving, their school work, and those around them-their peers, their farnily, their friends and their employers. They will leam what the signs are that indicate that a friend or a farnily member may have a drug problem and how to identify four stages leading from drug use to drug abuse. 16041 ISBN 022201217X Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 440 23 cm, gebundene Ausgabe, Hardcover/Pappeinband, Nº de ref. del artículo: 51783
