Resources

We have written several books and booklets that have proven, over the years, to offer education, advice, support and help for persons with a substance abuse problem.  The books are generally not geared to the substance abuser him or herself, but to their families and friends.  The reason for this is simple.  Many people with a substance abuse problem truly do not believe that they have a problem at all.  Their denial of their problem is very, very strong and hope for their recovery usually lies with caring family and friends. We also offer Home Drug Tests that are FDA approved and set to SAMSHA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration of the Federal Government) limits.
