ASPECT's newest resource Addictionary responds to the need for basic information and practical tools for the general public.
Addictionary is a practical guide to harmful substance use that will provide new knowledge, insight and ideas for dealing with drug and alcohol problems across the spectrum. It provides practical information for human resource professionals, employers, teachers, trainers, counsellors and case workers on:
- The symptoms of substance abuse;
- Recognizing the signs of commonly used drugs;
- Workplace drug and alcohol policies;
- Starting a dialogue with someone you're worried about;
- Legal issues for employers dealing with drug and alcohol issues;
- Links between mental illness and harmful substance abuse; and
- Addiction and recovery resources in your community.
You'll also find interviews with past and current substance abusers, who share their stories of pain, loss and redemption in the special "Conversations" featured in every chapter.
With its focus on research findings, best practices and real-life stories, Addictionary strips away the myths and stigma of addiction and provides a clear-eyed, pragmatic look at a complex and difficult issue.
This guide can be used by counsellors, employers, HR departments and anyone who may come in contact with individuals with addictions.
