January NNLM Reading Club: Substance Misuse

January often brings a time of reflection and fresh starts to a new year. Because substance misuse doesn’t take a holiday, any week is a good week to discuss substance misuse, addiction disorders, and treatment choices for both young and old. To help get the conversation started, visit the NNLM Reading Club Book Selections and Health Resources: Substance Misuse.
