Although the media focus on the rise of cocaine use and the evils of its abuse, the public receives little real information about the scope of the problem and its treatment. This timely, practical, and honest volume gets to the heart of the cocaine addiction problem. Cocaine Solutions not only addresses the difficulties experienced by addicts and their families in coping with the devastating financial, emotional, and psychological toll that addiction takes, it also identifies specific sources of help that exist for addicts and their families. Both recovered drug addicts themselves, the authors discuss some of the obstacles to recovery and the ways to overcome them. Cocaine Solutions includes the stories of recovering addicts to illustrate firsthand what addicts’lives are like, giving you a better understanding of the people who are afflicted with the disease of addiction. This important book is required reading for a wide audience--cocaine addicts, potential addicts, the families of addicted or potentially addicted persons, professionals who see addiction daily in their patients, and anyone who is interested in the problem of cocaine addiction.

Review
It's obvious from the opening pages of Cocaine Solutions that the authors, both specialists in addiction treatment, have a solid grasp of their audience. In clear, jargon-free language, they explain and explore the issue of cocaine abuse, a process that's both physically and psychologically addictive. Factual material is accurate, concisely presented, and interspersed with first-person histories that are taut, candid, and expresssive: these are people who are easy to identify with because they are so much like ourselves and our friends. True to its subtitle, the book will appeal equally to cocaine abusers and their families. For the abuser, an "Addict Questionnaire" is included; for relative and close friends, an "Enabling Checklist." Special chapters profile the adolescent cocaine abuser and provide a questionnaire geared to teens. This isn't a recovery program and it doesn't try to be: the authors recommend seeking outside help and provide a list of treatment centers and programs. -- From Independent Publisher

This review is from: Cocaine Solutions: Help for Cocaine Abusers and Their Families (Haworth Series in Addictions Treatment, Vol 4) (Hardcover)
I bought this book hoping to find some insight into a friend's crack addiction.This book teaches you about cocaine and cocaine addiction. It talks about who can be a cocaine addict and how to tell if you or a loved one is an addict. The real life stories touch the heart and show that you aren't the only person going through what you are going through. All in all this is a great book for those dealing with cocaine/crack addiction.
