Produktbeschreibung

For every unique woman with a drug problem there is a unique treatment. Women and Substance Abuse turns away from the lost cause of blanket treatments and takes you into the world's slums and inner-city ghettoes, where the faces of addiction are as diverse as the women who bear their debilitating burdens. You'll see minority women's drug addiction for what it isa montage of suffering and pain that only individual and specialized care can cure.
