As a good resource and overview guide to "Prescription Pill Drug Abuse," this book works well. If you expect a complete recovery approach in just 26 pages, and for 99 cents or free, you'll be disappointed.The author does not claim to be a medical expert in this field, only one who has worked extensively with addicted people. And that's good because she can communicate what you need to know for a good beginning. "Our hope is that after reading this book you will have the tools you need to deal with the person in your life that ["who" would be better] has an addiction.What do you do when you reach a breaking point with how an addict, perhaps someone in your family, abuses and uses you? How does addiction start? What types of drugs are used?Very helpful short list: 20 Signs and Behavioral Changes of an Addict.Where to find support groups, where to seek help, online support groups, how to recognize if you're an enabler, how to offer an addict help, websites for research--all are valuable to have ready to access. And when you've done all you can do and are at your wits' end, what next? The author offers some experienced advice and encouragement.With the prevalence of drug addiction of various kinds, this is a good book to have handy on your Kindle or elsewhere.
