Chemical Dependency. Roman Espejo, ed. Detroit: Gale Cengage, 2011. 978-0-7377-5216-8. 211p. $ 41.70, Gr. 9-12
Part of the Opposing Viewpoints series, substance abuse in juveniles is debated in 4 chapters: Is Chemical Dependency a Serious Problem, What Causes Chemical Dependency, What Drug Treatment and Prevention Programs are Effective and Should Drug Laws be Changed? The history of drug addiction is explored in essays citing statistics, opinions and laws. Especially enlightening was the White and McClellan essay,” Addiction is a Chronic Disorder” which explores the historical background of addiction as a chronic illness. Included are Book, Periodical and Internet Sources Bibliography, Questions for Further Discussion, Organizations to Contact and Index. Recommended.
