This text teaches students about the science-based components of substance abuse prevention practice. This cutting-edge book responds to the growing need for a textbook that addresses the rapid development of the substance abuse prevention profession. Finally, professors have a text that supports the content of their prevention courses! Substance Abuse Prevention presents the most current knowledge in the field, analyzing what does and doesn't work in the implementation of prevention programs. The text also prepares students for the successful completion of the ICRC examination.
This is the book that helped me pass my Certified Prevention Specialist exam. Parts of it were actually very insightful, entertaining, and worth the long hours of studying in the basement...other parts were less than thrilling. Glad to be done with the test.
