About this ebook
We have seen far too many heroin deaths. It is time to adapt. This book shows the path to safety.
Disconnected and under-resourced treatment systems actually boost fatal risk. The first part of this book describes what it takes to build safety. The second part of the book is for people and families who must move from the point of active heroin use to the point of safety. The third part is for everyone. It is about creating a positive, safe world, the kind of environment that prevents drug use and sustains recovery.
SHARP Stop Heroin and Rescue People is a consensus-based approach that makes a complex scary problem easy to understand. Written by a social service expert, this book delivers solutions. It's realistic, specific, hopeful, and positive.
