Overdose
Heartbreak and Hope in Canada's Opioid Crisis The victims are many and often not whom we might expect. They include the poor and forgotten but also our neighbours: professionals, students, and parents. Despite the thousands of deaths, these victims have remained largely invisible. But not anymore. Benjamin Perrin, a law and policy expert, shines a light in this darkest of corners and his findings challenge many assumptions about the crisis. Why do people use drugs despite the risk of overdosing? Can we crack down on the fentanyl supply? Do supervised consumption sites and providing safe drugs enable the problem? Which treatments work? Would decriminalizing all drugs help or do further harm? In this urgent and humane look at a devastating epidemic, Perrin draws on behind-the-scenes interviews with those on the frontlines, including undercover police officers, intelligence analysts, border agents, prosecutors, healthcare professionals, Indigenous organizations, activists, and people who use drugs. Not only does he unveil the many complexities of this situation, but he also offers a new way forward one that may save thousands of lives.

Relationships in Recovery: Repairing Damage and Building Healthy Connections While Overcoming Addiction
One of the most devastating aspects of addiction is the damage it causes to relationships--with intimate partners, family, friends, or colleagues.

Through her work with hundreds of clients, Dr. Green has learned that social support is key to the recovery process. This compassionate, judgment-free guide shares powerful tools you can use to recognize the differences between healthy and unhealthy relationships, set and maintain boundaries, reestablish emotional intimacy, communicate your feelings and needs, and end harmful relationships respectfully. With inspiring stories and easy-to-use worksheets (you can download and print additional copies as needed), this book lights the way to a life un-tethered from addiction and filled with positive connections

Gabor Maté When The Body Says No: The Cost of Hidden Stress
Trained to consider mind and body separately, physicians are often helpless in arresting the advance of most of the chronic diseases. Dr. Gabor Maté has found that in all of these chronic conditions, there is a common thread: people afflicted by these diseases have led lives of excessive stress, often invisible to the individuals themselves. From an early age, many of us develop a psychological coping style that keeps us out of touch with the signs of stress. So-called negative emotions, particularly anger, are suppressed. Dr. Maté writes with great conviction that knowledge of how stress and disease are connected is essential to prevent illness in the first place, or to facilitate healing. Other books by Dr. Gabor Maté include Scattered Minds: The Origins & Healing of ADD, In The Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters With Addiction, and The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, & Healing In A Toxic Culture.
