    Yes, there are a lot of good books that break addictions down so that it’s easier for everyone to understand. I can’t recommend any from personal experience but I did use Addictions for Dummies for a class project a few years ago and I found that it laid everything out nicely and was a very easy read. I hope this helps some, good luck.
