History professor’s new book explores Fort Worth Narcotic Farm, decades of addiction treatment in U.S.

Before coming to Oklahoma State University in 2016, Dr. Holly Karibo worked at a university near Fort Worth, Texas, where a cluster of old 1930s-era buildings caught her eye. Sitting on the Texas prairie, these were the remains of the historic Fort Worth Narcotic Farm, which is the subject of Karibo’s third book, “Rehab on the Range: A History of Addiction and Incarceration in the American West.”
