Programs That Work

Mathea Falco, one of America's most prominent drug policy experts, here offers a road map for success in reducing drug abuse. Showcasing effective prevention, treatment and law enforcement strategies from around the country, she reveals what really works in combating this persistent problem and argues that we need not give in to despair. The Making of a Drug-Free America will shape the debate for years to come.

As Michael Crichton writes in his foreword,

"The time is now. The need is pressing. This book by Mathea Falco points the way."
