Addiction is a treatable disease, not a moral failing. This book offers a myth-shattering look at drug abuse, grounded in the latest research in psychology, neuroscience, and medicine. It moves beyond traditional approaches to prevention and treatment, including Twelve Step programs and rehabs, explaining why existing systems often fail. The author spent time with scientists, doctors, counselors, and addicts to understand addiction and effective treatments, providing clear counsel for families and individuals at any stage of the illness.
