Produktbeschreibung

On average, one in four adults aged eighteen to twenty-five claim abuse of various substances commonly referred to as "addiction." This harrowing statistic is one that has become even more drastic in the years following the coronavirus pandemic, with global anxiety and lockdowns only leading to more substance abuse. On top of this, the college experience, and young adulthood in general, present stressors and other various reasons for substance use. The good news is that there are steps that can be taken that can help limit widespread substance abuse on the global scale. Collegiate Recovery Programs are a great step towards combating the current usage of substances in college students and other young adults. If you are someone who is present in the lives of college students, or other young adults, reading this book will give you the resources necessary to face the ongoing "pandemic" of substance abuse.
