Industry Reviews

"In a time when America has lost its way and drug/alcohol misuse has become normal, Professor Anderson's book not only reminds the reader about the serious consequences of abuse, but he also provides a clear and important message to those who need to stand up and be responsible."

Bill Alden, chairman and CEO, Drug Enforcement Administration Educational Foundation; retired DEA Special Agent, Former Deputy Director for DARE America

"At last! A book about substance abuse that recognizes the need for a comprehensive community approach addressing prevention, intervention and treatment, and a system-wide approach, incorporating youth and adult prevention organizations, law enforcement, the courts, education and awareness programs, treatment and legislation. Dr. Anderson recognizes that success in dealing with problems associated with alcohol and other drug use depends on incorporating a wide variety of community actors, and the experience they have gained over the years."

Jim Wright, high school teacher and coach; probation officer, Juvenile and Drug Offenders; program manager, Youth Impaired Driving Programs, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), U.S. Department of Transportation (retired)

"This book is a wonderful foundational read offering immediately implementable approaches for those addressing drug and alcohol issues. Its concrete framework examines essential elements for preventionists, counselors, educators, policymakers and advocates. Its practical approach incorporates the wisdom of those with long-term experience in the alcohol and drug abuse field and other fields of study. This insightful overview provides insights for improving communication, management, evaluation, and planning - all necessary for making a substantive and sustaining difference."

John K. Kriger, MSM, LCADC, leader of state and national efforts with alcohol and drug abuse, including directing the New Jersey Governor's Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse; adjunct faculty, Rutgers School of Alcohol Studies; trainer with CADCA
