Truth About Addiction and Recovery

Truth About Addiction and Recovery

A radical new approach to recoveryâ‚¬"using methods proven more effective than medical treatment or twelve-step programs.

Drawing on the latest research and detailed case studies, the authors expose the best-kept secrets in the recovery field:

Â· Addictionsâ‚¬"whether to food, cigarettes, sex, alcohol, or drugsâ‚¬"are not diseases, and theyâ‚¬re not necessarily lifelong problems.
Â· Many more people give up addictions on their own than are helped by medical treatment or twelve-step programs.
Â· Developing values, skills, and life resources enables people to quit addictionsâ‚¬"and to shed the addict identity altogether.

In their revolutionary â‚¬Å“Life Process Programâ‚¬Â for overcoming all kinds of addictions, the authors emphasize self-help and treatment through coping with stress and achieving oneâ‚¬s goals. As helpful as it is controversial, The Truth About Addiction and Recovery will forever change the way we view and treat addiction.
