This book looks at a sample of female drug addicts seeking recovery in Narcotics Anonymous (NA). Through working the Twelve Steps and by attending women-only groups, these women are able to confront the double standard that makes recovery from addiction especially difficult.

Jolene Sanders is Associate Professor of Sociology at Hood College, Frederick, MD, USA.
