Overview

A topical examination of the use and effects of illegal drug use, this text recounts and analyzes the experience of drug users themselves in an effort to provide readers with an open-minded account of addiction and recovery. The text contains interviews with over 70 people who have been using major illegal drugs (heroin, cocaine, temazepam and amphetamines) for many years, and yet managed to overcome their addiction through a variety of means. It looks in detail at the experiences of this group of recovering addicts, providing groundbreaking ethnography of the recovery process.
