Using extensive interviews and his own participation in daily rounds of treatment, Hood provides a vivid comparison of resident experience at each type of institution.\n\nRedemption and Recovery tells the stories of two houses in the Bronx, NY that serve people with drug problems: \""Redemption House\"" and \""Recovery House.\"" These stories include the direct accounts of residents' \""druggin'\"" lives before treatment and their search for normalcy after recovery or redemption. Other chapters dissect the religion of science-based treatment and compare success rates, religious vs. secular.\n\nAddiction Treat.
