you or is someone you love struggling with addiction? |
When it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, it's hard to know where to turn
for help. The professionals at the Betty Ford Center - one of the world's leading
and most trusted sources of treatment for addiction - have provided thousands
with the strength, support, and expertise that substance abusers need to get
well. Now the former medical director of the Betty Ford Center shares that expertise
in this remarkably honest and complete book, which answers vital questions that
surround this difficult subject:
- "My son seems to be following
in his alcoholic father's footsteps. How can I help
him?"
- "My wife's the alcoholic,
why do I need
treatment?
- "Can the brain recover
from cocaine abuse?"
- "Even a double dose of
my prescription tranquilizers doesn't seem to help.
Am I addicted?"
- "If I get sober, what are
my chances of staying sober?"
- "I am uncomfortable with
the spiritual aspect of AA. Is there an alternative?"
- "Is it true that people
who are forced into treatment get nothing out of it?"
Whether you are ten years sober,
a current or potential substance abuser, or you care about
someone who is, this volume will help you better understand
- and fight - the destructive powers of addiction.
"This
fine book
delves into
all aspects
of [...] our country's number-one public health problem.
I urge the public to read this book to become better informed."

President and Founder

"A must for the family library."
