For My Special Project in School, I Need More Scientific Info on Addiction Treatment. Where Can I Get This?

Question by abbie f: For my special project in school, I need more scientific info on addiction treatment. Where can I get this?
I really need to get a high grade on this as I’m aiming for a higher average on my subjects for this term. I want to give this my best shot– maybe even include statistics and whatnot. I was just wondering where I can get this kind of information. Can anybody help?

Go down to your local drug counseling center—a counselor should be able to give you the web sites or the info on this matter to get real specifics and even specialization as to what addictions are the highest–and amongst which type of people–whites, black, latinos…age groups…rich/poor. etc.

Good luck with your project—thanks for thinking of us to help you….I hope I helped.
