The World Heroin Market
Heroin is universally considered the world's most harmful illegal drug. This is due not only to the damaging effects of the drug itself, but also to the spread of AIDS tied to its use. Burgeoning illegal mass consumption in the 1960s and 1970s has given rise to a global market for heroin and other opiates of nearly 16 million users. The production and trafficking of opiates have caused crime, disease, and social distress throughout the world, leading many nations to invest billions of dollars trying to suppress the industry.

Written by experienced teachers and clinicians, the book introduces: * the substances themselves * theories relevant to substance use and misuse * the skills necessary to work with this client group * the broad range of approaches to treatment * particular problems of specific groups.

Becoming Whole After Addiction
The purpose of this work is to show that Christ-Centered recovery through biblical counseling produces genuine change in the heart of the addict. It proves that the only way for the addict to be free is to find a power, a power that is beyond themselves, that can free them from addiction. That power, is the power of the Holy Ghost, the power of the risen indwelling presence of Jesus Christ. But the only way that this power can rest upon them, they only way it can deliver them, is for them to confess their weakness and inability to resolve the dilemma of addiction on their own.
