Addictions and Other Drugs: A Deep Dive into Understanding Addiction

In "Addictions and Other Drugs", embark on an enlightening journey through the complex universe of addiction, revealing the mechanisms, consequences and treatments of the various forms of addiction that imprison minds and bodies around the world.

Using clear and accessible language, this work demystifies addiction, approaching it as a chronic and recurring disease of the brain, and not as a "moral failure" or "weakness of character". Through scientifically based explanations, you will understand how addictive substances and behaviors hijack the brain's reward system, leading to the compulsive search for pleasure and the escape from pain.

Explore the many faces of addiction, from legal drugs, such as alcohol and nicotine, to illicit drugs, such as cocaine, heroin and cannabis. Also discover behavioral addictions, such as gambling, internet addiction and compulsive shopping, which demonstrate that the unbridled search for pleasure can manifest itself in different areas of life.

"Addictions and Other Drugs" goes beyond simply describing the problems, presenting proven effective prevention and treatment strategies. Learn about the protective factors that strengthen individual resilience, the prevention programs that educate and raise awareness, and the therapeutic approaches that aid in recovery, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and support groups.

With complete and up-to-date information, this e-book is an essential guide to understanding addiction, identifying warning signs, seeking help and paving the path to recovery. An indispensable work for people struggling with addiction, family members, educators and health professionals.
