Crack Addiction in the Home, School, and Workplace

  • Chapter
Crack: The Broken Promise

Abstract

Early in the development of crack addiction, the signs may not be obvious for even the most observant parent, teacher, or employer. It is only through being alert to the early clues that one is able to detect the problem. This chapter discusses the early signs of crack abuse and other phenomena that may assist the detection of the problem in the home, the school, and the workplace.
