About this ebook
Community Impact Addiction examines the far-reaching consequences of drug addiction, highlighting its effects on community health, public safety, and local economies. The book emphasizes that addiction is a systemic issue demanding a collaborative community response, moving beyond the perception of it as merely an individual failing.

Additionally, increased crime rates and drug-related violence can significantly threaten public safety, further impacting the social fabric of the community.

By linking addiction studies with criminology and economics, this work reveals the multifaceted nature of the problem.
