Product Description
A leading wellness counselor offers a step-by-step holistic plan for the 50 million people in recovery—a personalized blueprint for adding years to their life and life to their years.
Based on his twenty-five years in the trenches as a wellness professional and counselor, John Newport, Ph.D., shares “the missing dimension” in recovery and the reason a majority of people battling a chemical dependency fail or don’t enjoy optimal health while abstinent: They don’t adopt a wellness–oriented lifestyle.
Newport breaks down the nebulous concept of “wellness” into 7 steps, and gives readers in the recovery community specific tools to design their own blueprint for optimal health, including:
Nutrition: which foods help/hurt recovery and trigger relapse and what supplements are helpful. Exercise: which exercises are beneficial to recovery with tips on getting started. Stress management: practical exercises and meditations important to relapse prevention. Spiritual needs: tips on nurturing a spiritual foundation. Social support: how to foster relationships and the new definition of family. Making the most out of health care: what people in recovery should demand—from their health care provider, and how to make sure it’s covered.

Product Description
From 1935 until 1975, just about every junkie busted for dope went to the Narcotic Farm. Equal parts federal prison, treatment center, farm, and research laboratory, the Farm was designed to rehabilitate addicts and help researchers discover a cure for drug addiction. Although it began as a bold and ambitious public works project, and became famous as a rehabilitation center frequented by great jazz musicians among others, the Farm was shut down forty years after it opened amid scandal over its drug-testing program, which involved experiments where inmates were being used as human guinea pigs and rewarded with heroin and cocaine for their efforts.
Published to coincide with a documentary to be aired on PBS, The Narcotic Farm includes rare and unpublished photographs, film stills, newspaper and magazine clippings, government documents, as well as interviews, writings, and anecdotes from the prisoners, doctors, and guards that trace the Farm’s noble rise and tumultuous fall, revealing the compelling story of what really happened inside the prison walls.
The Narcotic Farm is a beautiful, fascinating book that takes readers deep into a forgotten American institution. The pictures are remarkable and the story brings an important moment in history vividly to life. It’s a stunning work.
Dave Isay, founder of
StoryCorps
The story of America’s long and deep affair with addictive drugs is incomplete without mention of the legendary federal narcotic hospital in Lexington, Kentucky.
The Narcotic Farm tells this story well, and in addition provides a wealth of revealing photographs and documents that speak volumes on what it was like to be a junkie in the mid-twentieth century.
Luc Sante, author of
Low Life and
Evidence
The Narcotic Farm works its magic by recapturing, in images and words, the lost world of “Narco,” the sprawling federal prison-hospital for drug addicts in Lexington, Kentucky. It’s the details that get you, from the disheveled misery of withdrawal to the uninhibited joy of performing in the house jazz band.
David Courtwright, author of
Dark Paradise, Addicts Who Survived, and
Forces of Habit
Everyone who cares about addiction and recovery in this country should look at these pictures and read this text.
Susan Cheever, author of
My Name is Bill Wilson: His Life and the Creation of Alcoholics Anonymous and
Desire: Where Sex Meets Addiction
“The ‘Narco,’ with its combination of prison and hospital, drug experimentation and drug cure, total institution and farm, exemplified the contradictions of American drug policy. The authors are to be commended for their accessible text and high-quality images that vividly convey the history of the Narcotics Farm from the high hopes of its birth to its evolution into a “fraternity for drug addicts.”–Eric Schneider – “Smack: Heroin and the American City,” University of Pennsylvania Press, 2008

Product Description
Throughout the African American community, individuals and organizations ranging from churches to schools to drug treatment centers are fighting the widespread use of crack cocaine. To put that fight in a larger cultural context, Doin’ Drugs explores historical patterns of alcohol and drug use from pre-slavery Africa to present-day urban America. William Henry James and Stephen Lloyd Johnson document the role of alcohol and other drugs in traditional African cultures, among African slaves before the American Civil War, and in contemporary African American society, which has experienced the epidemics of marijuana, heroin, crack cocaine, and gangs since the beginning of this century. The authors zero in on the interplay of addiction and race to uncover the social and psychological factors that underlie addiction. James and Johnson also highlight many culturally informed programs, particularly those sponsored by African American churches, that are successfully breaking the patterns of addiction. The authors hope that the information in this book will be used to train a new generation of counselors, ministers, social workers, nurses, and physicians to be better prepared to face the epidemic of drug addiction in African American communities.
