Here’s what your colleagues are saying:
“I would utilize this text for the foundation class. It offers the beginning student a great overview of most of the relevant topics necessary....This text is accessible. It is clearly written, covers the important topics relevant to the generalist practice.”
–Debra Morrison-Orton, California State University, Bakersfield
“After reviewing many textbooks I selected this text because I felt it gave a great overview of the issues relevant to substance abuse and treatment. It seemed very appropriate for a bachelor level class and did not focus so much on counseling and theory as many of the other textbooks available.... It is straight forward and easy to understand yet very thorough in covering the many topics related to addictions. It has given me excellent learning tools to incorporate into the syllabi.”
–Nadine Panter, University of Nebraska, Kearny
