Book Description

Given that chemicals in over 1,400 (mainly household) products can be intentionally inhaled for their psychoactive and mind-altering effects, it's not surprising that inhalants are the most commonly abused drug in the United States today, especially among young people. In spite of their popularity, however, very little is known about how these chemicals act on the brain and body. This book provides valuable information on the history of inhalant abuse, the major classes of the most commonly abused inhalants, what scientists currently know about the effects of inhalants on the brain and body, trends in inhalant abuse, and treatment and prevention measures. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars An great new book on inhalants
This book provides up to date information on inhalants and is written in a language that is clear and easy to understand. As volatile solvents are found in common chemicals and many household products, this book is especially important for all.

The book is presented in straightforward manner. The author opens with an overview of inhalants, where she answers the question, "What are inhalants?" This chapter shows the reader that inhalants make up over 1400 legally obtained household products and are, ironically, one of the least studied drugs. The second chapter provides an engaging history of inhalant abuse. From the ancient Greeks to 19th century doctors and academics to volatile solvent abusers in World War II, this chapter illustrates the long history of inhalant abuse in the world. Chapter three describes the properties of inhalants, while chapter four explains the way inhalants act on the body. Particularly interesting in this chapter is the explanation of the reward pathways in the brain. Chapter five looks at the types of abusers and issues of dependence and withdrawal. Chapter six is a very useful chapter as it deals with the consequences of abuse. The short and long term effects of abusing inhalants are made clear in this chapter. Chapter seven presents very a dynamic collection of trends and data on use of inhalants, while the last chapter focuses on treatment and prevention.

Vivid diagrams, charts and photos supplement all of the chapters. It is clear that the author has taken care to make sure that the charts and images are relevant and useful. Ms. Lobo has taken care to present her information in a factual matter while maintaining a crisp and engaging voice. The book is presented in a way that allows the readers to take the information and process the data on their own.

Having worked in community outreach with K-12 students and educators, I believe this book should be an essential part of 7-12 grade libraries. I highly recommend it to parents as well!

4-0 out of 5 stars It helped a lot!!
This book helped me to understand my situation better.I had been assigned to write about Alcoholism and it's effects on families in my English Comp. I class.As a coincidence, my uncle is an alcoholic.I got this book and not only did it help me with my paper but it made me understand that my uncle can't help what has happened to him.He is chemically dependant on it.He had become dependant on the alcohol to deal with everyday situations and interactions.I would recomend this book to anybody who knows or once knew an alcoholic.It will make you want to go and give them a hug, and reassure them. ...

  • Know the facts about how drugs and alcohol physically and mentally affect the human body
  • Understand why, how and when chemical dependency sets in

  • Deal with the situation when friends' or family members' usage is out of control
  • Know what to do if they become chemically dependent
  • Realize that using drugs or alcohol can alter ambitions, change priorities, misalign goals, and undermine relationships
  • Manage their roller coasteremotions by providing alternatives

1-0 out of 5 stars This book is very fake
After reading ms youngs book A teen's guide to living drug free, I would think that she would have named it a teens guide to being a drug-e, this book realy had good points but I dont think a book can do the work to keeping teens sober they need more drug education class's in schools. ...
