Product Description

This is one of the best books out there on the biology and science of addiction. It explains what is happening in the brain and how new treatments like buprenorphine work. Anyone in treatment now or has a loved one in treatment should read it so you are armed with up-to-date facts and not myth about addiction.
It clearly explains why addiction is considered a disease, and what can be done about it. I particularly liked the explanation of why even once people stop taking their drug-of-choice, they often relapse months later. This book clears up years of misunderstanding and misconceptions about addiction.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand why addiction is so hard to beat for them or a loved one, and learn about the new treatments.

This book seems more like an info-mercial for a licensed drug protocol than a researched-based factual presentation.

With this book Dr. Gracer brings the treatment of addiction to the 21st century. The book presents a comprehensive look at addiction, its scope, biology, diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Gracer’s approach is expansive and covers all aspects of the addiction problem. New treatments that integrate social, psychological, medical and “alternative” methods are presented in a non judgmental way so that all types of sufferers can benefit. The book addresses many types of addictions from medically prescribed drugs to street drugs. Therapies that address brain imbalances caused by, or that lead to, the use of drugs are clearly and accessibly presented with many real life examples. This book is a must for anyone suffering or involved with addiction.

This is a page turner for anyone that has or thinks they have an addiction problem, has a close family member or friend that has an addiction problem, wants to know the truth about addiction and how to get help. You don’t have to go to a clinic or 12 step meeting to kick the addiction. Private & caring help is just a book away.
I didn’t put the book down until I finished it. The book is informative and easy to read (not full of complicated medical terms). It gives hope to those that think they have tried everything to kick “the habit”. It helps understand addiction and explains that it’s a disease (and often times inherited) and not a condition.
You may find yourself relating to a patient’s story.
You may find a patient’s story relates to a family member or friend.
If you have an addicted Mother, Father, other Family Member or a friend or a co-worker…share this book. Dr. Gracer and his staff have helped hundreds and after this book, will help so many more people that were afraid to come forward because of shame or embarrassment.
I truly can’t say enough about the book or Dr. Gracer & his Exemplery Staff! Help yourself or help someone else…read the book.
