Creating a Table of Contents for an eBook on Addiction and Dependency

Any eBook focusing on the terrible challenges of substance abuse, addiction, or substance dependency should be written with the reader in mind. It should include many examples of different substances that the addicted suffer from. Such an eBook needs to appeal to not only an afflicted person suffering from dependency, but also their friends, family, doctors, and counselors too. Okay so, I have provided below some ideas on what topics should be covered and boldly listed in the table of contents.

Creating a Table of Contents first without the page numbers is an ideal strategy for the writer as to keep them on track, covering all the important subjects and sub-topics. Later on, after the eBook is completed, edited, formatted, and after pictures are added, the last thing would be to add in the page numbers of each chapter and subchapter of the eBook.

Here are some of the topics I’d recommend in the eBook and Table of Contents on Addiction:

It should have plenty of information for friends and families trying to help them. The table of contents needs to be clear and concise, easy to read and understand, and able to help the reader navigate the complexity of the material in comprehensible format.
