Book Synopsis The Street Addict Role by : Richard C. Stephens
Download or read book The Street Addict Role written by Richard C. Stephens and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1991-07-03 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a new answer to the question, "Why do people use heroin and other street drugs?" Drawing upon a growing body of studies of drug users conducted by sociologists and anthropologists, it attempts to integrate their findings into a theoretically unified sociocultural explanation of heroin use. The theory, which draws heavily upon the insights of symbolic interactionist and role theory, posits that there is a street subculture of heroin users. The chief role in this subculture — the street addict role — becomes a blueprint for living for many heroin users. Addicts are heavily committed to this role and organize their behavior and self-identification around it. From this basic starting point, the theory explains how persons become and remain addicts and how they may eventually give up addictive behavior.

Download or read book Street Addicts written by James Steele and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-08-03 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book Street Addicts is a therapeutic memoir of street addiction. The use of the term "Street" is defined and displayed as a way of life and/or lifestyle. It's targeted to young adults and the like who are consciously and subconsciously addicted to cultural traits that are identified as a lifestyle and to defiant traits that are esteemed heroic and which glorify being "street," criminality and subcultures. Street-prone teens partake in lawlessness and the forbidden fruits that have become so rewarding that the behavior is now a dependence (The Addiction) causing our youth (The Addicts) to continuously live the street life (The Disorder), a condition characterized by patterns of thinking, personality and behavior that created an unhealthy compulsion to exist and belong. Across the United States, this teen hereditary or adopted lifestyle has become dangerously habitual-beyond the natural measure of control. This book describes the start, process and treatment; it provides everything it took for this bona fide street addict, as well as others, to recover from Street Addiction. This is our Streets Anonymous.

Book Synopsis Portrait of an Addict as a Young Man by : Bill Clegg
Download or read book Portrait of an Addict as a Young Man written by Bill Clegg and published by Back Bay Books. This book was released on 2010-06-07 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bill Clegg had a thriving business as a literary agent, a supportive partner, trusting colleagues, and loving friends when he walked away from his world and embarked on a two-month crack binge. He had been released from rehab nine months earlier, and his relapse would cost him his home, his money, his career, and very nearly his life. What is it that leads an exceptional young mind want to disappear? Clegg makes stunningly clear the attraction of the drug that had him in its thrall, capturing in scene after scene the drama, tension, and paranoiac nightmare of a secret life--and the exhilarating bliss that came again and again until it was eclipsed almost entirely by doom. He also explores the shape of addiction, how its pattern--not its cause--can be traced to the past. Portrait of an Addict as a Young Man is an utterly compelling narrative--lyrical, irresistible, harsh, honest, and beautifully written--from which you simply cannot look away.
Download or read book On Addiction written by Darin Weinberg and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2024-08-23 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mainstream addiction science sees addiction either as a biomedical disease that renders one incapable of self-control or as a voluntary practice engaged in freely. In On Addiction, Darin Weinberg shows how this dynamic is deeply influenced by a series of binaries (free will/determinism, mind/body, objectivity/subjectivity) that hinder our understanding of addiction. Here, he offers a new theorization of addiction in which he breaks down these contradictions and incompatibilities, calling into question the taken-for-granted distinction between the “biological” and the “social.” To the extent that it is understood as a loss of self-control over one’s behavior, addiction, Weinberg contends, requires a supple theoretical framework that provides for movements into and out of self-control, for the social and natural processes that influence these movements, for the historical contexts within which they occur, and for the ethical ramifications of taking them seriously. To create this framework, Weinberg brings together history, ethnography, and critical theory as well as the clinical and social sciences. In this way, Weinberg takes a more holistic approach to examining the fundamental nature and ethics of addiction.

This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All across the United States, individuals, families, communities, and health care systems are struggling to cope with substance use, misuse, and substance use disorders. Substance misuse and substance use disorders have devastating effects, disrupt the future plans of too many young people, and all too often, end lives prematurely and tragically. Substance misuse is a major public health challenge and a priority for our nation to address. The effects of substance use are cumulative and costly for our society, placing burdens on workplaces, the health care system, families, states, and communities. The Report discusses opportunities to bring substance use disorder treatment and mainstream health care systems into alignment so that they can address a person's overall health, rather than a substance misuse or a physical health condition alone or in isolation. It also provides suggestions and recommendations for action that everyone-individuals, families, community leaders, law enforcement, health care professionals, policymakers, and researchers-can take to prevent substance misuse and reduce its consequences.

Book Synopsis The Biology of Desire by : Marc Lewis
Download or read book The Biology of Desire written by Marc Lewis and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the vivid, true stories of five people who journeyed into and out of addiction, a renowned neuroscientist explains why the "disease model" of addiction is wrong and illuminates the path to recovery. The psychiatric establishment and rehab industry in the Western world have branded addiction a brain disease. But in The Biology of Desire, cognitive neuroscientist and former addict Marc Lewis makes a convincing case that addiction is not a disease, and shows why the disease model has become an obstacle to healing. Lewis reveals addiction as an unintended consequence of the brain doing what it's supposed to do-seek pleasure and relief-in a world that's not cooperating. As a result, most treatment based on the disease model fails. Lewis shows how treatment can be retooled to achieve lasting recovery. This is enlightening and optimistic reading for anyone who has wrestled with addiction either personally or professionally.
