Web Hunt: Substance Abuse and Addiction

You may use any of the following keywords, or come up with some of your own: "substance abuse," "addiction," "addictive behaviors," "drug abuse," "alcoholism," "addictions and recovery." If you have trouble finding sites on this subject, you may wish to visit:

Write a brief review of what you found. List the URL of each site, and offer an evaluation. Did you learn anything of value at the site? Who might benefit from it? Would you recommend it to your fellow students? Why or why not?

Be ready to share this written review with your class.
