Knowing that it is a disease and not a personal choice was eye-opening.. good book this is a good book as it tells you all the basic information. but it doesn't talk much about medications to treat painkiller addiction. what if you can't afford to go somewhere for treatment?but it was easy to read and has alot of information. Makes the connection through personal stories of Recovery Prescription Drug Addiction will have a personal connection with many addicts, abusers, families and those in recovery. It will educate and provide very telling statistical information. Unfortunately, with all the information and varied treatment the problem is not improving.
