Addiction Medicine

Working in Vancouver's notorious downtown eastside to pay for her theological education at Regent College, Meera Bai Grover was faced with questions about whether or not providing people who use drugs with sterile supplies and a place to inject contravened her faith. She knew she wanted to care for people with addiction but did not know how to do so in a way that fit with her own moral code.

Heroin addiction is quite possibly the worst of all drug addictions. The road to recovery is normally a very long and torturous one, not only for the user, but for everyone around them. However, with the right kind of treatment and care - and knowing what to expect along the way - it is actually quite possible to recover from heroin addiction and overcome the dependency altogether. That a heroin addict will seldom admit to their addiction doesn't make things any easier.

When he signed up for a psychedelic retreat deep in the Brazilian rainforest, veteran New York Times journalist Ernesto Londoño was so depressed that he had come close to attempting suicide just weeks earlier. To his astonishment, the nine-day ayahuasca experience provided Londoño an instant reprieve from his depression and became the genesis of a personal transformation that anchors this sweeping exploration of the booming field of medicinal psychedelics. Trippy is the definitive book of psychedelics and mental health today, an in-depth and nuanced look at this booming industry.

Read before use: There were plenty of snags, trips, and falls during my recovery from addiction. Some were necessary, many were not.

Habitual drug use in the United States is at least as old as the nation itself. Habit Forming traces the history of unregulated drug use and dependency before 1914, when the Harrison Narcotic Tax Act limited sales of opiates and cocaine under US law. Many Americans used opiates and other drugs medically and became addicted. Some tried Hasheesh Candy, injected morphine, or visited opium dens, but neither use nor addiction was linked to crime, due to the dearth of restrictive laws. After the Civil War, American presses published extensively about domestic addiction.

Codependence: Coping with Addiction, Sadism and Abuse is based on a white paper the author drafted for a drug rehabilitation center in the United States. The study is basically divided in three parts, dealing with different manifestations of parent-child codependence and the resulting lacking autonomy and self-reliance of the later adolescent and young adult, who, as a result of his early entanglement with a parent gets into a negative growth spiral by a rather queer sexual development (sadism), and dependency patterns in all spheres of life.
