APF Resources Now Available on Amazon

Now available on Amazon: Understanding Addiction: A Guide for Families and the Responding to Addiction Workbook.

Understanding Addiction, authored by Jessica Hulsey, offers a clear, research-grounded overview of substance use disorders, addressing common myths and misconceptions while explaining the science in an accessible way. Drawing from decades of experience, Jessica provides practical tools for navigating severity levels, treatment options, relapse prevention, and difficult conversations. The guide also equips readers to counter harmful misinformation and approach addiction through a compassionate, health-centered lens.

The Responding to Addiction Workbook expands on our instructor-led training with easy-to-follow, science-backed guidance. It covers how addiction affects the brain, how to recognize signs and symptoms, evidence-based treatment approaches—including medications for addiction treatment—and practical strategies for having supportive, effective conversations about substance use. 

Both resources are now accessible in convenient formats to support anyone looking to better understand addiction and help those with lived experience.
