High Society: How Substance Abuse Ravages America and What to Do About It

An excellent book that provides a call-to-action and provides a practical road map to stem the ravages of substance abuse in America. This book is America's wake-up call and could cause a revolution in the way we battle drugs if we heed the call. Author Califano Jr., the chair & president of the National Center on Addiction and Subtance Abuse (CASA) at Columbia University knows what he is talking about and calls for society as a whole, our schools, government, churches and the media to recognize that our children are at stake and that with his strategy we can reduce crime, cut health care costs, strengthen families, and alleviate poverty. His book peels the stigma off the disease and replaces despair with hope.
