We have had numerous requests for free information that people can use right away. This source has been one of the best we have found. The Problem Substance Abuse Handbook has sections on the physical effects of drug abuse as well as substance abuse withdrawl. Discussions about abstinence as well as avoiding high risk situations make this a very useful resource.
The 52 pages are very well done and can be downloaded immediately free of charge. It is simple and easy to use, and may assist someone in deciding if self-management of their addiction is possible or if admission to a drug rehab might be considered.
