by Dirk Hanson

What do we mean when we talk about addiction? This anthology of articles is designed to bring multiple perspectives to bear on that question, a pursuit made possible by the recent explosion of research on the scientific underpinnings of drug and alcohol addiction. In this collection of posts from my blog, Addiction Inbox, you’ll meet some of the rsearchers, and some of the research. You’ lllearn about the new synthetic stimulant drugs now flooding American grey markets. And you’ll hear about some of the best recent books on addiction and recovery.
