New Book on Drug Use Seeks Addiction Treatment Reform

(PRWEB) December 28, 2004

From rising healthcare costs to accidents, and from criminality to the spread of disease, drugs are the root of many societal ills. Though there has been recent good news of the continued decline in teenage drug use, the country is still in need of effective drug rehabilitation and prevention programs on a large scale.

Many alcohol and other drug treatment professionals feel that in order to make a lasting and positive impact regarding substance abuse that the demand for drugs must be greatly reduced. In order to do that, the public at large must be more knowledgeable regarding drugs and their effects.

“Losing the Beer Goggles: And Seeing the Truth for the First Time” seeks to educate people on more than just what are traditionally accepted as dangerous drugs and communicates realities about the legal drug industry as well.

As the author of “Beer Goggles,” Lucas Aaron Catton is a professional in the field of drug rehabilitation and education and has amassed a lifetime of knowledge and experience in just a few short years. As a former drug user, Catton brings a unique balance of perception and practicality from both sides of the fence and shares his views while revealing truths that lay just beneath the social veneer of everyday life.

The book is more of an essay on the state of society with regards to drugs and provides plenty of criticism as well as offering workable solutions. There is a correlation between the difficulties overcome in the author’s life and an evolutionary process of awakening on a nationwide scale yet to come. Glimpses of this process are beginning to appear with recent national attention on the pharmaceutical industry.

“It’s not that these are new discoveries,” comments Catton, “It’s just that sometimes people need a little help opening their eyes to see what’s actually going on. The more the media digs and the more the public educate themselves, I guarantee the more fraud and deception by psychiatry and major pharmaceutical companies will be uncovered. It’s there to be found.”

Catton, who is currently working on a screenplay following similar concepts, has appeared as an expert on addiction in court, on dozens of radio and television shows across the country and his articles have been printed in hundreds of newspapers from nationwide.

“Losing the Beer Goggles: And Seeing the Truth for the First Time” is available online at www.addiction-treatment-books.com or through Publish America.
