Welcome to Methadonia: a Social Worker's Candid Account of Life in a Methadone Clinic by Rachel Greene Baldino With her Master of Social Work diploma still fresh in her hands, Rachel Greene Baldino embarked on a year-long journey as a new professional in a methadone clinic.

For those who have been involved with heroin addiction or methadone treatment, either professionally or personally, a journey through 'methadonia' is a trip they'll never forget.

ABC of Alcohol by Alex Paton Alcohol misuse is a medical problem before patients become seriously ill because of the consequences. It affects patients' health in many different ways and can cause devastating social problems. Doctors are well placed to detect drinking problems and to advise patients on how to overcome them. The "ABC of Alcohol" has been of help to doctors and other health and social workers. It looks not only at the nature of alcohol misuse but also at the wider socioeconomic and political issues. This third edition has been extensively revised and updated, giving more practical guidance on how to define and detect alcohol misuse, help patients through treatment, counseling and referral to self-help organizations.

Addiction is a Choice by Jeffrey A. Schaler The author refutes the widely held idea that addiction is involuntary, genetically determined, or a physical or mental illness. He offers convincing arguments that "addiction" is a decision made by someone in order to find meaning and purpose in life. He explains why public policies, based on the incorrect beliefs that addiction is a disease or involuntary behavior, are ineffective and even encourage addiction by allowing people to feel powerless and demoralized about their inability to break the habit. The volume covers all types of addiction, from drugs and alcohol to gambling, smoking, and sex addiction.

The Common Sense Approach by Michael Hardiman Few families are untouched by addiction in some form. Few families know how to recognize it. Few people know how to deal with it when it affects them or someone close to them. Counseling psychologist Michael Hardiman brings us step by step along the route to addiction. Dividing the book into four sections, he starts by explaining what addiction is, what causes it and what sustains it. Part 2 explains chemical dependence, part 3 addictive behaviors and part 4 recovery. Michael Hardiman uses case studies to support his text, and each chapter has a useful summary at the end. It is written in a supportive style, practical in approach and uses non-technical language. Michael Hardiman does not pretend to be able to solve addiction, but he does arm us with the information to recognize the early signs so that we can take responsibility and thereby more control.

The Addictive Organisation by Anne Wilson Schaef, Diane Fassel This book shows how managers, workers and organization members exhibit symptoms of addiction - denying and avoiding problems, assuming that there is no other way of behaving, manipulating events to maintain the status quo. They examine how organizations can become centers of denial, confusion, overwork, covering up and picking up the pieces to please the boss.
