Book Reviews of Slaying the Dragon: The History of Addiction Treatment and Recovery in America

Book Review: A MUST HAVE BOOK for practitioners in the RECOVERY field!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

This book was suggested to me by one of my professors. It is one of the best books written on the History of the profession of RECOVERY!
I believe that ALL practitioners in the field of RECOVERY should read this book, or at least OWN it as a reference guide. You will use it over and over again.
I liked it so much, I bought two copies.
